Rockmanx Fp Black Complete Build thread.
Rock its about time!!! u have pieced this monster together for ever. your setup was changed so many times before a solid one was ever even assembled lol. it will be legit when its done.

my orginal goal with this project was only 500whp to be honest. Anything more was bonus but that did not include a built shortblock was not planning on getting one now that i have one we shall see.
your power goal will keep changing. you will get used to the car and it will not feel as fast. i think 600~ is where you tend to stay happy. your old motor had lots of rust or whatever on it, mine looked like my new shortblock when i pulled mine. must be the weather where you live. keep the pics coming!

Built motor, breathing good, FPBlack....depending on who's tuning it I say you end up just short of 600hp. on Pump maybe 550ish. I'm jut guessing......looks good subscribed ot this thread....keep the updates coming.
They don't call it the dirty south for nothin' - yeah the stock motor was rusty on the outside.
Don't they have an engine stand at that shop?
Good luck on the build, it's always a little nerve racking.

ya and once its complete its never complete lol. i have to change my waterpump this friday. mine lasted a wooping 2-3weeks? thankfully i do all the work myself tho. if you are running pump gas rock you definitely want to invest in meth injection.
