How much to forge the engine? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Mass. Mach1 · 11-18-2008, 10:00 PM

I am considering supercharging my Mach. How much would it cost to forge it. What do I need, just a new crank and rods? Is it worth it or should I just stay at around 430 hp?

about 4k if you shop smart....(that's assembled, atleast thats what i have come up with when i was shopping around.)

Look for a short block already built....might save time and money.

have a MMR fully forged block at 9.1:1 compression. 1100 miles on it. willing to sell cause i was layed off. if you are interested at all. i might be willing to sell entire motor + blower.

5k for a good one im getting a 5.0 stroker built that will hold at least 800hp for 5300

The crank is already forged in the 5 speed cars. In the autos, it's probably still not necessary to add a forged crank unless you'll be making a lot of horsepower. You'll need to replace the rods and pistons. It's probably a good time to do a few other things, too, such as the head cooling mod, etc.

I done my stroker rebuild for about $3000 but "I" done it myself

LOL

Who did the machining to your block? What did you have done to it? And how much did it cost? Im probably building my self a short block this winter and im still trying to get ideas.

shop around, my build should cost between 3000-3500

Hope your engine building skills are much better than your english grammar skills.

I have been working on cars since I was a little boy and my father is an ASE tech with 40+ years exp. I think we have it covered

I just do not see any reason to throw away money to let someone do something that I can do myself.
