Putting a motor in most cars requires no special tools. I know plenty of "car people" that are capable of installing engines, turbos, superchargers, headers, K members, rear ends and transmissions in their garage and driveway. I have never uses a lift to put a engine in a car. Gets some skills son.
Need a lift is my point. Not so much hand tools is it? Can you put and engine in and a K member in without a lift?
The built bottom end is a stock block, stock crank with rods, pistons and ARP hardware. We are not talking a whole lot of parts. Like I said, a LS car would most likely need all aftermarket parts. Basically nothing a stock production motor would be used. Nothing.
Where does it say them pistons are stock? Im pretty sure them pistons were changed. Are they same compression ratio? Your obviously leaving shit out to make it seem like its a cupcake walk in the park and an afternoon job to built a 1400hp mustang. You said it was hellion kit and build bottom end but never said it was
A. Raced the season before.
B. Built bottom end done by MMR. (yes you said it was built but not by who.
C. How much time do you think they have tuning and sorting out that car? Again its not a cupcake walk in the park weekend job built with pennies and peanuts.
This car has a turbo, a fuel system, and short block. Those are three things. Heads, cam and intake is three things. I am exaggerating a bit as yes. I think most would know this. Others like you I guess not.
The point was not to bust your balls but to point out what is TRULY needed to reach this level @ 1400hp.
For some people it may be. For others not so much. That is besides the point. For the money spent and mods done this car is making incredible power for the money. If you want to argue that, well no one here would be surprised. You like argue on here.
Ive said in this very thread I doubt anything else can be built that's this new and makes this amount of HP for less money. Maybe you just read what you want and dismiss points that this is NOT a bolt on affair.
Go build any other car, make 1400hp with less mods and money. Then show us how easy it was. If you can do it for less than what was added to this car EVERYONE here will praise you too. Because that would be an accomplishment.
The posts about it being a race car used last season and built bottom end is to point out how far from an easy bolt on hand tool affair you try to make it out to be.
Again, welcome to several post ago.
That is basically how I bet most people feel when you post here.
