    I have no opinion beyond the fact that having numerous big block vintage muscle cars I really appreciate the ability to drive the Marauder long distances in comfort and confidence. Nothing like cruising the streets in a vintage drop top but... the older I get the more I like reliability, safety and comfort.

    On a separate note I'm in awe of the effort and money you are willing to invest in modifying a car. One day I would like to do that myself, be it building a cobra kit car or doing a resto mod etc. But the practical guy in me looks at the dollars and time you are going to invest and thinks, heck for 25% - 50% more you can buy someone else's completed project—but that's not the point I'm sure - its the design and wrenching that you value and that's awesome.

    I know exactly what you mean.
    I drove the Cobra up to a regional SAAC show on Sunday.
    Coming home it was hot and sunny.
    Was driving the Cobra fun?
    Sure!....but it's got manual steering, manual brakes, no A/C, is loud as heck and gets about 6 - 8 mpg.
    Would I take it on a long trip?
    No!...I'm getting too old for that.
    The heated and cooled seats of the Fusion along with A/C and a dead quiet interior make more sense for a comfy long distance trip.

    My budget for the '85 is around $20,000.
    Believe me, I keep hemming and hawing about dropping 20 large on an old Fox body Mustang.
    But I can't see dropping 45-50 large on a new Mustang!
    I guess it'll be a mid 80s restomod.
    And I do look forward to wrenching on/modding the Mustang to get it back up and running fast again.
    Being a carbureted engine there is no computers nor fuel injection... plus no emissions testing is nice.

    BTW: At the SAAC show there was an early 90s Fox notch with a Coyote swap....

    My '85 Mustang is a pushrod SBF, carbureted car....and so it will stay.

    363 cid SBF it is!
    Dart SHP 4 bolt main block.
    AFR heads with Mahle forged pistons.

    4.125" bore x 3.40" stroke = 363.5 CID = 6.0 Liters

    Still an 8.2" deck engine, so all the OEM 5.0 stuff will bolt right on....no modding necessary.

    Depending on the camshaft, (Hey! I only have to buy ONE!!)
    I'm looking for @ 525 HP....should be quite a bit of fun in my 'tin can' 3,100 lb, 4 eyed Foxbody.

    Just got the pistons today.
    Forged 4032 aluminum pistons, so I can run a nice tight piston-to-cylinder wall clearance....no piston slap.
    The pistons have a 1mm x 1mm x 2mm ring pack that does not cut into the pin bore like the 347 SBF strokers.
    Also have Grafal anti-friction coating on the skirts.
    Should be around 10.6:1 compression.
    Next up, the Callies CompStar forged crank and 5.4" forged rods.

    That's the plan....I'll have a local machine shop check the Dart block and do any machining necessary.
    Apparently the SHP blocks are nicely finished from Dart.
    Thick webbing and 4 bolt mains make it pretty much bullet proof. (Now I don't have to worry about splitting my OEM 5.0 roller block down the middle!)
    If you choose, you can bore them out to 4.185" and run a 3.5" stroker crank for a 385 CID 8.2" deck SBF!....

    Working on SBF pushrod V8s is SO much simpler than the Marauder's 4.6 DOHC.

    That’s awesome Joe! Besides swapping out crank bearings on a daily clunker to quiet down a knock for another day/month/year on a gamble that’s about all I’m willing to do internally. I figure it’s doomed anywho at that point..

    I’m asked what I can’t do quite often. Of course being a 70’s kid my obvious answer to that is “absolutely nothing” and I don’t need YouTube to teach me like todays dumbed down and sensitive youth!

    The right question is: What are you NOT willing to do? PLENTY! Such as spend good money on building my own engine when I hear of so many good shops that can’t even build one right! I’ll stick to welding and fabrication..

    I bought the Magnum 6 speed and QuikTime bellhousing back in the early Spring.

    I had blown up the OEM T-5 way back when ...lol (guessing late 80s)
    I put Hoosier drag tires on it for the track....First run on the stickies....she was hookin' & bookin'..... and when I snagged 3rd gear the T5 blew up....bang!
    Weird thing was that I still had 5th gear! I drove all the way home from the track in 5th gear, with metal gear pieces pinging and banging around inside the transmission....
    Bought a Ford Motorsports HD T-5 to replace it, but I know that it wouldn't last long behind a built 363.

    Holy COVID delays Batman!!!

    The DART 8.2" SHP Small Block Ford castings have a minimum 16 - 22 week lead time on them!!

    They are cast and machined in the good 'ole USA (Michigan)

    They tell me that I won't get my block until early next year!!.....maybe!

    Also waiting on AFR Renegade 195 SBF heads....I should have them by the end of this year.

    The Edelbrock RPM AirGap Intake manifold is also on backorder because Edelbrock shut down their casting facility in California* and moved it to Mississippi.
    I don't have ANY idea when they will start to produce aluminum intake manifolds from their new facility!

    *The Communist State of California finally figured out how to force one of their best employers OUT of the State....Great Job Nancy!!!

    I think you'll be very happy going SBF over a coyote. Everything will be easier. I made almost 400rwtq on my bolt on Gen 1 L.
