not to nitpick or anything, but are you sure about the 454?? don't you mean a 460?? or is this another Ford with a chebbie motor?? who would put a chebbie in a ford?? oh wait, Robert would........ u poser.......J/K Robert..
I am a poser. Hehe I'm not sure what you are, but I'll think of something.
You guys keep talking bout these big engines, they're no match for my 177 CID 2.9L..
that's absolutely right. I have been bit by the turbo bug!! my 2.4 liter (that's actually a 2388 cc) has some serious potential I will soon be exploiting. however there is no way that little 2.4 will be able to pust 3 tons of truck AND still be able to perform in a reasonable fasion. so the old addage still holds...there is NO replacement for DISPLACEMENT!!
if I turbo my 2.4 (which is roughly 1/3 the size of my FE) I have the potential of making 250HP from a base of roughly 90HP. now if I did the same thing (scaled up to accomidate displacement of course) on my FE that is roughly 290HP I would net an approximate 600HP. and yet again, has anyone found that replacement for displacement.....I know I haven't.
