To everyone who has responded with a constructive answer, thank you.
For every one wondering what/why/how on this car and my other cars. I don't want this to be a project car, if I wanted it to be like my other cars then I would spend the effort to have the parts machined, I would spend the effort to track down the performance parts that are no longer made. But this isn't suppose to be a project car this is suppose to be a daily driver something I can use while I work on my long term project car. That is why I am wanting to use production parts and gather knowledge from other people.
As far as the Vulcan is concerned there is a life lesson to be taught in it. Do not criticize an unknown absolute, that you do not know.
Morana Demo Car: Ford Taurus Vulcan, 400hp
Several Vulcan powered Ford Rangers, 300hp
BOSS 3.0 Ford Ranger: More than 350hp at the wheels
Ford Racing Vulcan Powered Probe: IIRC 450hp at the crank
The stomach turning amounts of Sable and Taurus owners over an 18 year period that have done everything you can imagine.
The Vulcan can use several V6 SHO and 302 parts, and it is no longer uncommon to see a Vulcan running 225hp (Stock Wheels) naturally aspirated from non-custom parts. Then you consider the fact that Whipple makes both a dedicated and universal Supercharger for the Vulcan Engine and that the engine will easily take a turbocharger or two, it seems harder to believe that there are not many more Vulcan engines breaking the 300hp mark. The Vulcan engine is still in it infancy when it comes to the hobbyist markets.
