V6 stroker dyno

[jleews6]

It wont run 12s making 174rwhp and 225 rw torque.

Im not trying to argue with you but re read my post and you will see what I was saying. I said that with it all ironed out it should make about 215 and thats enough to go 12s if he has all the supporting mods. I ran high 12s with a basicly stock LX 20 years ago. Hell back in 93 my brand new loaded 93 LX 5 speed went 13.6 @ 97 with just the free stuff and 3.73s and slicks.
I know it takes alot more than just dyno numbers to run the number but I still think that 215 RWHP in a light car will run 12s.

plstktnkr2= Have you ever weighed your car?

Hey plstktnkr2; I am definately following this build...as I have an 83 3.8 I am putting back together for my vert. Thanks for showing what can be done with the 3.8.

[plstktnkr2]

one thing I must note is that the stock 3.8 harmonic balancer must have a neutral balance with the 4.2 crank but timing has to be re-engraved with timing marks because the timing will be 20 degrees off.

[plstktnkr2]

posted in a thread onv6power, no never weighed the car

[8T3Hatch]

Great numbers, very excited to hear more!

[86GT2go]

Where do you come across the 4.2 stroker crank?

[plstktnkr2]

any junk yard with an f-150/e-150 should have a whole motor for the cost of a new crank from ford or you can get one (reground) at advance auto parts

[kj_80Cobra]

Great to see its almost done. This local guy to me knows how to make a v6 run, but it will cost ya a few bucks. http://www.coymiller.com/program/program.htm

[plstktnkr2]

well, finally got the fuel dialed in between 12 and 14 so final dyno run is monday.
hoping for a final of 180 on the ground

[plstktnkr2]

well ratio is within spec, we shall see on monday what the final deal is. here's hoping to break 190HP

[8T3Hatch]

Can't get enough of this!!! Do you have any pics of the build or the final product? I'd love as much info as possible.

[86GT2go]

Thanks man...looks like I know what I will be doing with my spare 3.8 shortblock.

[Ductape91]

just out of curiousity, what year v6 block are you running?
ive really been contemplating doing something like this, well not exactly like this but most of the info i see is very vague about the compatibility of the 83-86 blocks and going with the 4.2 crank
everything always related to the 88+ injected motors.
all i know is hooking up these motors are pricey

[plstktnkr2]

ok first:
8t3 hatch-n yes I have some pics

86gt2go-let me know what info you need

ductape91: a 1985 thunderbird engine and AOD

now for the results of the final tune: aa/f mix - 13.2 15.0
max power :184.51 HP
maxTorque :233.01

will post dyno chart as soon as I can figure out how to import it from my CD drive

[86GT2go]

Good figures for sure, V8 or V6 aside! I'll PM you when I am ready to build up my spare 3.8. Thanks for the info on an overlooked motor.

[Ductape91]

thanks gives me some hope

[plstktnkr2]

with gas at $4.00/ gallon why not a 6 popper hot rod?

rpm for rpm a sixer making 185-210 is still using less fuel than your v8 with the same power level

[seawalkersee]

Are you running some sort of aftermarket manifold? What all is done to your combo? Did I read correctly that you have a stall?

[ZachW04Stang]

I see you are in MD. Do you plan on racing at any of the tracks? I'd love to see that car at the track.

[plstktnkr2]

SEA: the intake is a modded carb unit , with the 3 tubes under the carb cut and filled , EGR filled , and fully ported with an adapter plate made to fit a holley square flange. open plenum. If you are near me with an intake I could show you what needs to be done.


Zach I may run it at "all ford day" Mason dixon dragway just for giggles

PSjust as a side note I took it to a show in Hagerstown this weekend and it garnered a lot of looks and curiois expressions when some heard the car and read the fender (3.8 " high performance") Had a guy find my car just to look under the hood!

[86GT2go]

plstktnkr2; what year vans were the 4.2s in?

[plstktnkr2]

the 4.2L was in the F-150/E 150 from 99 to 2004 I believe. For all you fuelie guys go for a dual port with a mustang intake so it fits under the hood

[86GT2go]

Thanks again man.....I will be going to my local yard friday, will see what he's got.

[XavierNerys]

they came in 97-up models, just letting ya know so you don't skip those years when you see'em, Xavier.
