I will have about 2000 dollars in hand soon and plan on putting it into my car. I have a 1991 Cougar Ls 5.0 . Engine has 72000 miles on it and was owned by a little old lady when I bought it. So far I have added a Superchip, 70mm MAS, and K&N filer charger kit. I have removed the silencer also.
Here is what I want to add.
Heads (Trickflow 61cc, 2.02 in. intake/1.60 in. exhaust valves, stud mount rockers, aluminum, cylinder heads
Intake (Trickflow Street
Headers (JBA's)
Cam (Trickflow 275 intake/279 exhaust duration, hydraulic roller, EFI
Rockers (1.6 ratio, CNC-machined, roller)
Throttle Body (Ford 65MM or should I go 70?)
I realize it comes to over 2000 but I just planned on building and selling a couple of computers or selling my computer to make up the difference. Is this the way to go parts wise? What can I expect to run with this? Any different recommendations? You guys are the experts I figured I would check here before I spend 2500 to find out I should have gone a different way. I know eventually I will need to replace the tranny (it runs fine but after all is a ford original trans) and I will get the torque converter then, actually I am thinking of putting a manual trans in it, if its not too much of a hassle getting the parts I would need)
Also what about these heads? http://www.powerheads.com/???
Thanks in advance all.
