A Ford piece may actually find it's way onto the truck

Driveshaft Safety Loop 99-04 Mustangs Mach1, GT or Cobra

A guy over on S10Forum used this on his build and to me it's a nice clean functional install that's easy enough to bolt on and remove if necessary.

This is the cam Vengeance Racing specd for me after I completed their thorough custom cam spec sheet. Fingers cross it'll help get me to 950-1000 HP at the crank. Ron is a ex Army Ranger so I like supporting his business even though he has plenty as is and I've purchased from VR before.

23x/24x .6xx/.6xx 118+5

These wheels are badass: WEDGE | Billet Specialties, Inc. (they discontinued my SLG20s shortly after I had them made)

Holy **** this is intense!

Few questions: Which throttle body is that? Which heads are those? What do they recommend as the max bore size with the ERL blocks? What diameter is your collector?

TB is Nick Williams 102mm Billet

Heads are LS3 that got CNCd by PRC

I'm not positive but they do go up to a 454 and I think they can go beyond that but don't hold me to it. Those sleeves are super thick.

Collector is 3" and exhaust will be full 3" with electric cutout. I will using a modified Pypes XVX13S kit to make the front part and finish it up to the rear.

Good stuff! I like the engraving at the base of the head.

Glad to hear the exhaust will be dual 3". You'll need all of it.

The sleeves look beefy as hell! That's why I asked.

I'm only hoping for 950-1000 at the crank and 800+ to the wheels so it's not going to be the most badass thing around but it should be fun.

I'm sure the liners are strong, but what about the rigidity of the aluminum block at high power?

Something like this would be an awesome way to strip 100lbs from the front end and go up to 7 liters from 6

The thicker/stronger liners are good to the power he wants to make all day long.

One more thing worth noting: I'd look into other TB options. You will suck that NW102 closed with the volume of air you will be sucking through it. Generally people go to the TPIS, but its somewhat hit or miss. Once you get it working they are flawless though.

I'm not talking about the liners. I'm talking about the actual structural rigidity of the block above 1000hp. Also, does ERL have any provisions for 6 bolts per cylinder?
