it has a 302 5ltr v8 it's pritty much std at the moment it's running 230hp on a fresh built motor it has a mild cam zorst and a flash tune as it is. i have a twin turbo kit on order at the mo from the states but want to finnish the body before anything else. when my workshop is built i will look into tunning it but for the time being it will be left as it is. i have a 351 and victor junior heads so i may pull it all out yet and start again lol. i would not go down the v8 route again the ba 6 potter turbo has a good rep and more tuneable than the old windsor but i'v already have paid for the turbo set up so may just run that at low boost and settle for around the 400 bhp. i fooked up realy as i new fook all about the windsor and asked a few monkeys here what i could get out of the twin turbo set up and was told 5-600 bhp i now no that to be bullshit as they split at around 500bhp. the good thing is stuff is cheap over here so nothing is set in stone but i wish i had asked on here before relying on advise from the fools here lol. at the end of the day it runs sweet as a nut and sounds awsome the 351 i have will save and i will keep an eye out for the ba turbo motor for the future.i have also found a 460 ford motor in an old ftruck but it looks a moster and again is old hat and for the work i would be better doing the 6 pot turbo conversion. the list go's on there is also the boss motor wich is better but not bomb proof so for the time being more than likely just a steady 400 from the turbos untill i get bored and change it.
