We had posted about these a while back, and have since been in the process of making these kits available for the 2.5L Mercury Cougar and Ford Contour engines. We can't release many details at this point, but will answer any questions to the best of our ability.
Basically the kits will include the following items:
- H-Beam 4340 Forged Chromoly Connecting Rods
- Forged Aluminum Pistons (Available in 3 different compressions: 8.5:1, 9.5:1, 11:1)
- 3/8" or 7/16" ARP 2000 Rod Bolts
- Piston Rings and Rod Bearings
Questions you may be asking yourself:
Q: How Much will these kits cost?
A: We have not determined a final cost, but these kits will retail around $1300. There will be an introductory Group Buy for 8-10 Kits when they are ready and in our hands.
Q: How much power will these kits be able to handle?
A: These kits will handle around 1000hp, however, we do not have a solid number yet.
Q: What bores will be available for the pistons?
A: We will offer a standard .030" rebuild overbore, but custom pistons will be available at an additional cost.
Q: Aside from ordering custom piston bores, can we order custom compression ratios?
A: This will most likely be an option, but will considerably increase shipping costs and there will be an additional fee for both services.
