lol, i dont claim to be the best mechanic in the world but i sure do know my way around a tool box 
im actually really looking forward to the new experience cause again i dont know anything about them. i find them to be pretty impressive though to be honest. my green foxbody pictured above had 225hp stock from the factory, mass air 302. but yet this gst that i just bought has 205hp?? as a turbo charged 4 banger from the factory.
the eclipse is gonna be for my wife, ive gotta get the thoughts and ideas out of her head on wanting to drive the stang. as far as imports go ive always really loved the looks of the eclipse and she does as well. id like to get it up and around 275-300hp at the crank and i think her and i both will be more than satisfied with it.
heres a video of this engine in my avatar that i just built for the mustang. just a complete guess but im thinking its somewhere around 500-550 at the crank right now. ive got nitrous on it to but the engine doesnt have but about 150 miles on it so im not willing to shoot it yet.
also keep in mind this video is with a stock tune a9l computer (nothing special 302 comp)
breakdown of the car is...
1991 gt foxbody, came from the factory as a mass air 302 and an automatic. went through 4 transmissions within the first 6 months of owning the car so then i had a beefed up "racing" transmission built for it from the local performance tranny shop, with that trans and some common bolt ons i was putting down 13.7's in the quarter on street tires and on the rev limiter before the end of the track. so i got tired of that setup and went with this...
1974 351 block .60 over
3.85 stroker crank
5.96 "football" rods
kieth black forged 28cc pistons
xfi236 cam .579 lift
1.6 scorpion rockers
afr 205 heads 58cc, 9.5 is my final compression
edelbrock victor efi intake
42lb injectors
75mm throttle body
76mm mass air meter
converted it over from an automatic to a 5 speed and installed a tremec 3550
eibach drag springs on all corners, removed 1 coil from the fronts to drop it about an inch
adjustable upper and lower tubular control arms in the rear
spec stage 3 clutch
svo 73mm brake calipers in the front
drilled and slotted rotors
installed 4.10 gears, going to go down to 3.73s though in the near future
crane hi-6 ignition box and lx-92 coil
who knows probably a couple million other things that are currently slipping my mind but she really needs a tune since the total cubes is now 399, 97 more than the stock computer is programmed for and the injectors are 42's inwhich the stock injectors were 19's
anyways enough blabbering, here is the video
