The new engine combo for the Merc.

[STU]

Here's the donor: 1994 GT, smashed 2 weeks ago. Everyone is ok...luckily...





Here's the plan using his top end on my 1994 GT bottom end (my engine came from a 94 GT as well)

94 GT shortblock (hypers) re-ringed and new bearings
ARP rod bolts, main studs and head bolts
FRPP X305 aluminum heads
B303 cam, 1.7 rr's
Weiand stealth intake
Mallory Hyfire ign, FRPP 9mm wires
Aeromotive A1000 pump and boost ref regulator (already had them NIB for another project I'm building)
Powerdyne blower 6psi - might upgrade to 9psi.
Hooker super-comp ceramic coated longtube headers, 2.5" duals with MAC mufflers, H-pipe
Extreme Velocity carb hat

I was figuring it would be around 425-450HP at the crank. I would also need to upgrade the fuel lines on my car. I'm also toying with the idea of putting the 5spd in my car to replace the C4, but I do have a new Hughes Pro-street 3000 converter here. Either way the Merc will scream and with the silent drive blower it will be a sleeper.

wow, that car looks like a Japanese import it's so smashed up. looks like all the good stuff came out untouched.

Here's what I removed from the car for $909. I sold what was left of the car for $500 this afternoon...I forgot to take a pic of the Powerdyne blower.

that's going to be one mean merc. Are you going EFI or carb it?

Liking the mac mufflers. I have them on my Foxbody.

Wow, this is going to be a great thread!!

Blowthru carb'd setup is what it will have. Looking to make 350-400HP at the wheels with proper tuning using aboost prepped 750DP carb...350RWHP shouldn't be hard to get with the 5spd. I love the sound of MAC mufflers, killer "tinny" sound that pops.

350-450 very likely
do post pics of blow thro set up once you get into it
Paxton head unit?

I will do a thread for ther 5spd swap and a thread for the engine build. I want to make the 5spd swap a tech article for the main site...I've been super lazy over there but I will get back into it next month.
