I know that I'd have to replace all the accesories, but what about the drivetrain/differential/U-joints/etc.  Whould they be able to handle that much power?

no, it's not stupid.  and can be done.  you will need to change out the tranny though.  a good C6 will bolt up to your 302, and perform very well.  you will have to take your driveline to a reputable driveline shop and have it modified to fit the length of your new engine and tranny combo.  as for your differential, as long as you're not drag racing this thing it should handle the torque and horses nicely.  if what you want is to launch the truck and pull some nice quarter mile times, then yes replace the entire rear end with that of a full size truck, that would take a bit of modification to do.  i would use the ranger's original diff and just be sure that it is full of clean extreme duty gear lube.

Too many factors involved to answer this question accurately.  Gearing, exhaust, fuel mixture, all of these play a part in your question.  If you are talking about a little go-cart though, maybe 30mhp.  That would be without any modifications.

Between 15.0 and 15.5 the mods you listed wont help as much as you think they will. That time is probably that of a new car and not 1 that is almost 20 years old.

no you would have to get new gear boxand a new barrle

I would ask the engine manufacturer. If they are not available for some reason, I would look at current manufacturers of similar engines and see if you could adapt something. If this is an engine that has been used in cars or trucks, look for one in a junkyard. \n\nIt would help if you said something about what kind of engine, pump, and service this is in. Is is industrial? Agricultural? Some kind of experiment?

It's a question of horsepower.  And durability.  You could sufficiently gear your car to theoretically go 60 mph at 1000 rpm, but you have to remember the amount of work being done is real - you would not be able to push the car through the air at that engine speed, never mind have sufficient power in reserve to climb a hill or accelerate.\n\nIn an ideal world, your engine would have an infinite numer of gear ratios, or be infinitely variable to some perfect power/speed ratio.\n\nThen, you would travel in a different gear depending on how much you had eaten for lunch.

there are too many unknowns like air resistance, and the coefficient of friction between the brake pads. the friction in the axels.. this is a poorly asked question. you can probably just do k=.5mv^2 to get the total amount of energy in Joules and then convert to cal..

You will need to support the engine and takr the mount off.

You'll get a better answer on a Subaru forum than here, but at least keep in mind that heavier wheels degrade both performance and ride.

Get a Mustang GT and a Paxton supercharger kit. You should be running 450-500 horsepower at the rear wheels with that setup.

Well, if you could just remove the small ring the gear ratios wouldn't be the same.  The "normal" gearing for a double is 53 / 39 and on a triple is something like 52/42/30.  If it were me, I'd definately upgrade to Ultegra.  But that's assuming money isn't an object.

the bearings do not change the speed it is the gear ratio.if the bearing  are bad you would know it would sound bad and the wheels would not turn freely.

Very dangerous engine. The head could lift, but most likely the pressure will blow past the rings into the crankcase and cause a crank case explosion.\n\nIf you are real lucky something in the head will fail and relieve the pressure. Then all you will have is a large repair bill.\n\nI do not recommend trying to run an engine in this condition. Get the relief v/v fixed or replaced.

By choosing light weight pullies, you will slightly decrease parasitic drag on the engine. \nThe effects will probly not even be noticed at all.\n\nLike the last guy said, underdrive pullies will give you a few more HP.

this is basically a chevy 350 stroked to a 383. they are a very good reliable strong engine. excelent for truck applications. they will work QUITE well in a camaro.Lots of off the line power!!

They WILL affect your car..that is, if you manage to fit 285/50 x 20" on a merc E. The ABS will not engage properly, nor will the traction control, if u have any. U'll burn away the clutch faster as u start-off, u'll wear-off the brakes in no time as u try to stop the 20s from spinning. There's also the added weight. More than that, since all mercs are RWD, u should think about fitting different tires with different widths for the front and rear axles (ie wider at the rear axle). Good Luck anyways!
