Still in the early stages of planning but figured I would get a thread started, even just for my own updates or track my research. I found an EFI 300 I6 on ebay for about $300 (another $200 to ship to NY). Here’s my plan so far:
- 88-96 EFI Block
Holley EFI or MS, leaning towards Holly (Someone told me I will need to dyno it to be safe)
Power band between 1500-5000 (Based on some research it will probably be to 3500)
~56 mm Turbo w/ internal BOV and wastegate (there's a thread talking about this, thats where I got the number)
Larger Cam, would prefer not custom or one that puts my profile above power band
8-10 PSI boost, max 15 psi
Stock crank/rods (open to suggestions)
Overbored 0.030
Hypereutectic Pistons (I've noticed others use and were able to support boost small amounts of boost)
shave top of block and head, stock head I read can handle 300 HP
I am lost when it comes to valves, rockers, selecting cam profile and chamber CC, basically...heads confuse me.
Custom fab header into turbo, I haven’t seen this so maybe a manifold is smarter?
Ebay intercooler (I have to do the math to find which size will be necessary/best)
Plans to connect to E40D transmission and put in my ‘94 F350
Want to run on 87 if possible but depending on build i’d go up
Not daily towing but would like to wheel it and daily it/ camp on the trail. 300HP would be my top goal
Want to remove belt fan and use a beefier alternator
Budget is 3K (max of 5K)
