I'm buying a new v8 from blueprint to replace my current worn out v8 (no I'm not going to build the current engine because it's much simpler and less confusing than building an engine with unknown specs) 84 ranger and it makes about 390hp. I plan on pairing it up to my current c4 auto and running my ford 7.5 for the rear diff with 3.73 gear ratio and the Yukon posi in it. Anyone able to get me some numbers on how much hp it can handle? I also have a shortened ford 9" for it that I want to convert to disc brakes and possibly use that instead as a backup but I have to fabricate mounts for the leaf springs and struts that I kind of don't want to do. Any insight will help
