I built my 5.3's turbo kit as 'frugally' possible: I have under $1500 into it. Granted I made my own x-over and downpipe, but a no-fab kit would be ~$2000. Turbo can be done a lot cheaper whereas a stroker is largely a fixed cost. Even using name-brand stuff will be cheaper. The up side to a stroker is you have instant torque, which is fun to impress people with instant burnouts. Then again, a simple 454 or 496 would do the same for a lot less.

Yes, a 454 can and does do that but the pain in the wallet makes it prohibitively expensive on the back end 🥺 6-7 mpg is just 🤢🤮 when filling up. Though, I was able to buy an entire truck for $700 with a bad running 454, surface the heads, buy gaskets, all for under $1000. I’m not upset with how it turned out, just sad about the fuel mileage.

Hard to beat a stock bottom end 6.0 with a cam and springs. Turbos are great, but the associated plumbing clutters up the engine bay, heats the shit out of everything & makes everything more difficult to work on.

Richard, if you started selling a 4.3 V6 cam , that would be SO AWESOME. All the aftermarket ones are SO EXPENSIVE. Turbo FTW. With a properly sized turbo, you are going to get more TQ down low than the stroker. That wins races. Plus the turbo kit can be transferred to a 5.3 or 6.0.

The new plug n play mega squirt for 94/95 mustang looks awesome, it litterly plugs into factory connections and has a butt load of features, auto trans too, it's capable of doing about everything thing can think of and then some and is very expandable like doing traction control it's pretty sweet but the price isnt cheap its around $1100, that's steep but if that's what your looking for it's money well spent I think. Especially where there is no installation mods needed just unplug the factory ECU and plug it in done for basic function, obviously it's more involved when you start expanding it but installing a Holley is not plug n play that I know of and the old mega squirt needed an expensive unit to integrate it to the factory system.

[@magius231]

I pretty much kept track of every single nickle and dime i spent, including shipping/tax, spark plugs, oil, gaskets, etc and this is what I came up with for my LS1 turbo in my 99 Trans Am: turbo setup (ebay GT45), this includes all the gauges, fuel system, injectors, random fittings, piping, etc: $3105. Engine/cam/springs/pushrods/re-seal (you don't have to do this): $2064 Transmission/suspension including 4l80e swap, torque arm, safety loop, torque converter: $3411 I am tuning it myself so $499 for HP Tuners (for now). Doing it all over I could definitely save some money in spots and probably knock $1000-$2000 off all this but i went pretty cheap with a lot of this (I should own stock in DNA motorsports by now) but I think this is pretty representative of overall costs to really set this up and get it running in a car. Realistically I should also drop ~$3000 in a driveshaft and ford 9 inch before this ever gets near a track but those of you that don't have F-body's may not have to worry about a rear end made of duct tape and chicken wire...

You could also take the rotating assembly out of a 4.8 and with new Pistons and use it in a stock 6.0 L and make a poor man's 327. Definitely we need to balance the crank with all that extra weight added by the 4-in piston. That would be a fun build. It definitely would be nostalgic.

At 5:34 you stated it would take 600 to 750 horsepower to have a good intercooler. I would guess this is from all the excitement of thinking of more horsepower.

@richardholdener1727 I think you said HP instead of dollars. Everyone knows what you meant. I do have a suggestion, as you've mentioned it, but I don't remember a test. How about 87 turbo testing? Street cars and trucks could save coin on 87 instead of 91/93, or upping everything and going E85. It'd be a way to show how much power you're leaving on the table by saving on fuel, and give you an opportunity to say any changes on initial build. Like comp ratio, intercooler at X psi, etc...

In this comparison your getting a brand new motor in the 408. If you rebuilt the 4.8 right to actually last at those power levels i think it would be a different story. Although if you built the 4.8 600hp would not be the goal and would be making 2-3 hundy more than the 408 so 🤷

The real questions which one leeks more oil Richard😂😂😂😂😂

[@rocsti5402]

I didn't watch yet but you need to figure out mpg for long term cost lol. If I wanna cruise on $100-200 a weekend it can't last 100 miles. Need to figure out the best power and 20+mpg like a coyote can do I guess. I've heard of twin turbo in a obs f150 doing 25mph+ cruising. That's why I love a trans like the 6r80 with a standalone ECU and than you can run carb, sniper, w.e and have the best of all worlds. 406 stroker sounds like 5-10mpg. I'm sorry but just can't do it especially if it's premium.

Ohk I’ve got a question… as to how it relates to me, I’m currently working on 2 engines the 4.8L v8 and the Amera Barra 4200 vortec inline 6’ and I’m wondering which one would be easier/cheaper to 600whp?
