- AC Cobra / Liberty STi / Toyota Hilux SR5
Have AC Cobra (replica),
Current Motor VS 304 with,
Tremec TKO II 5 Speed.
Twin plate high perf sintered metal clutch
Vortech SQ-2 Supercharger - Running about 9 PSI.
Front mount intercooler
Front mount oil cooler
Mandrel bent ceramic coated headers - 4 into 1 - Active side pipes.
MSD Elect ignition & blaster coil
Etc etc..
Pretty sure it has stock internals though..
Apparently 410hp at the wheels.. I think this is a optimistic dyno reading..
Just purchased a 304 VT engine (roller cams), pulled it apart last night, looks like it has,
Yella Terra Roller Rockers.
ACL forged pistons (Seems to have stock crank and con rods though).
After market cam (not sure exact type)..
Starr 90mm throttle body / manifold.
The current plan is to rebuild this spare VT engine with 355 stroker kit, then stick on the supercharger (Vortech SQ-2), and put it in the Cobra.
Car only gets driven on weekends (when the weather is nice), so doesn't see many KM's, but still keen for reliability (not overboard), I only want to do this engine re-build once..
Keen for about 600hp.. Which is probably overkill for a car that weighs 1050kg, but......
Questions,
SCAT / COME / HARROP stroker kits - what is recommended (reliability for street use)?
What else should I look at that would not be in the stroker kit?
Compression ratio recommended for 355 with 10- PSI?
Will the Vortech SQ-2 running 10 PSI be sufficient for the 355 stroker?
This is my first attempt at re-building an engine.. So more questions to come..
Cheers,
Adam
