I'm assuming he is looking into a custom built transmission. Don't count that out just because it hasn't been mentioned!

If he is smart.....he is twisting the 3.5 sideways, mating a built A10 to it, while sending the power through a real rear end and transfer case.......just like a GTR......

This sounds very expensive but it could result in the best SHO of ALL TIME.

Hey, if that's what it takes to get the platform FURTHER and FARTHER than ever before I am all for it! BPD has always had a killer build and I would love for him to absolutely abolish my record!

Well bpd can I just take mine to them and say do to mine what you are doing to bpds? ;) Mine will be paid off soon and I need to spend the extra money making a bigger badder boat. I am sure it will cost me more as I'm not nearly as far along as you but, I am ready to take the plunge. I am assuming you aren't going to daily it at 1100 hp right?

Ya know....the funniest thing to me? I remember worrying about the big block in a Camaro overheating if we get stuck in traffic too long. FORGET air conditioning...

I bet this would make an EXCELLENT daily driver with 1000 HP....stuck in traffic, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON! :D

Ha!

You guys crack me up.

1k to 1,100 is the target goal.

Will it be achieved? Possibly.

Remember, on the "old" build, the highest crank hp was 805 (617 at the wheels). Which, I'll add, I was never able to run (due to perceived drivetrain limitations). With the current goal in mind, I'm already over that power range ofcourse.

Now, all things considered, if (emphasize 'IF') we are able to achieve the desired goal (of 1k to 1,100) then we're probably looking at anywhere from 800, to 900 hp AT THE WHEELS.

So umm, yea. We'll see how it goes

One thing's for sure, this current motor will be lightyears ahead of what I originally thought was a (term used VERY LOOSELY) "built motor".

Patience fellas. All in due time.

When you are prepped and ready to destroy the record when the build is coming to an end let me come up from Missouri to Illinois and I can get some wrenches in hand on some weight reduction like I am known for! Hahahaha! For the glory run of course! Record needs to stand for another 8 years after you are finished with this!

So will any of the Ford GT parts be used for this build?

Going over the parts with my parts guy you have to have viable proof of ownership and call the Ford GT concierge to even get prices on the majority of the parts. They aren't actively selling any of it to the masses and the parts you can get prices on are up to ten grand. Probably just easier to build a SHO platform block and less expensive in the long run at that as well.

I think we can throw the money thing out the door at this point.

I'm so subscribed to this. bpd your determination and positive attitude are inspiring. The MKS will never go down this road but it's cool to see what it's brother is capable of. Looking forward to progress reports updated even if they're small and seemingly insignificant. ;)

BTW I'm Black Dream on ecoboostperformance. I need to get my screen name here changed.. .
