Yeah i think its 175hp and 225lbft torque in stock form. It has headers, flowmaster 40 series exhaust, cowl induction, 50mm throttle body, ported intake manifold, underdrive pullies, i've also made some changes to the timing and fuel curve. I think thats it, may have been a couple things i forgot. Haven't had it dyno'd yet but other people with the same mods have had there trucks dyno'd and taking into account drivetrain losses they are looking at around 250hp at the flywheel.

It may not be emissions legal but it's pretty quick. It has a centerforceII clutch and Lakewood traction bars to help it go. Its just something for me to beat on while i build my Ford.

What do you guys run for 0-60mph times? I have never tested mine but I bet its around 12-13 seems like forever! I have never ran it mainly because my speedo is off along ways with the big tires. I would probably be running 70+ by the time my speedo said 60. rolleyes: I have a friend who has a short box Chev with a 350 and NV4500, looks like a minature sitting next to my truck. lol Anyway, we tested his truck one time and it ran 11.6, I kinda expected more since it was so light, but my best guestimate is those chevy's loose steam after 100k miles : That will be interresting to find out how badly I beat him when I get the new engine in.

That's SLOW for a 350. My 96 300/E4OD reg cab short box turns the 1/8 in 11.6 @ 59 MPH. A similar truck with a 350 and a manual should be a half-second quicker.

Yeah that is pretty slow for a 350. The new 5.3's with the right bodystyle can supposedly get up to 60 in around 8 1/2 seconds. That's eventually where I'd like to be I know what you mean about the speedo too. I think when my speedometer says around 51-52 mph, I'm actually doing about 60, but who knows. That is assuming my speedometer was acurate with stock tires. I tried timing myself once in the 0-60, but that was a mistake. It's hard to do 1-2-1 shifting when you're holding a stop watch. I would have had a friend hold the stopwatch, but then I might be losing a bit of time with the extra weight. Any ways, all of my "times" were quite unofficial :o

Ford4ever,

That's a pretty decent hp figure for the V6. It's actually more hp than the stock 360 comes with!
