I like the look of that bike when it came out as the 1100 model, and it is based off the old zx11 which was my dream bike back in the day...

Not going to sell the 12r, so no new bike for me. Guess I could drop 10grand+ into a fully built 408 stroker for the 67 fairlane project. Maybe run a d1 blower and EFI on it. Does a 700hp daily driver sound like too much?

FORD FTW!

why not build a turbo 5.0?



overkill is my dads ex- race motor in a 92 mustang :)
(bbf 460 40 over to 472, aluminum Super cobrajet heads, aluminum Victor intake, dominator 1050cfm carb running alcohol... good for 825 on all motor

I might do a 5.0, maybe a small stroker, like a 317... Not sure if i want to turbo it, I may just leave it NA and cruise it. I have other stuff that is fast (lightning and zx12r) and I really do not want to dump a ton into the suspension to handle big power. Plus i may sell the car when I am done, not sure if i really want an old car, plus i want to do a plug in electric car for commuting (screw the oil companies).

I have built a few bbf motors and your dad's sounds wicked. My f250 had a 60 over 460 in it with 12:1 comp, made the old truck do 150mph... I then replaced that motor with a 30 over 429 with fully forged bottom end and a lightweight valvetrain. Pity the truck flooded during katrina, need to replace the fuel tank, carb and wiring and get it out on the street again. That truck would easily take a ls1 fireturd, not bad for an 86 f250....
