Horse Power at this time is only estimated, based on other builds like this one, but shows to be around 510 – 540….. on paper.
Like Don, my wife can tell you to the penny, on all of it. I don’t really want to know that.
Note; A bunch of this came from E-Bay, This site, and others like it. Lots of shopping around.

Computer programs have my motor around 370 HP but I have not had it on a dyno
I built my motor myself for $2500
In my opinion, I think 350-400 HP is perfect for these cars

Estimating around 400hp and I often find myself asking "why in the heck did I do that?" . A 5.0l based engine is a lot less hassle and you don't need 400hp to enjoy driving this car.
Go ahead, tell me to go buy a Prius and some shoes to match my purse!

Started as an '89 5.0. I had the machine work done locally then I built it up with forged TRW pistons, Sealed Power rings, Clevite bearings, ARP fasteners, Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads with upgraded springs, stage 1 cam, roller rockers, Street Heat EFI intake with 24# injectors and 70MM throttle body. Probably other stuff I'm forgetting but I'm under $3,500 all in. Trick Flow tells me the combination should be in the neighborhood of 350 HP. Fairly inexpensive on a HP per $ basis. Never been dynoed so I don't know how close that 350 number is although 1/4 mile trap speed of 116 (with a 12.2 ET due to lack of traction) kind of backs it up. Whatever it is it's fine for the way I use it
Stock block, stock bottom end (125$)
home ported head/intake/exhaust manifold
52lb CFI injectors (j-yard)
stock T3 turbo
small NPR intercooler
3" downpipe
20psi of boost
35 shot of nitrous (as needed)
It put down 266rwhp on a mustang dyno... dunno why the dyno operator insisted running the car in 2nd gear. The pull lasted about 1 seconds and I think it would have put down closer to 280-300rwhp in a taller gear. It doesn't make sense that a 3100lb car making 266rwhp goes 12.2's in the quarter.
All total, it is probably around $500. Cheap fun.
Ohh wait, wrong car. No engine bought for the FFR yet, but it will be a coyote 5.0. I will look for a donor engine from a 2011+ mustang, but budgeted incase I can't locate one.
600cid Ford aluminum block
Kaase BOSS 9 heads with raised intake ports

after a 2,000 mile bunk of a 306, i reused my accessories and put them on a 347. my engine was built by the amazing guy in the top photo - a hookup from our fastest SoCal local No Tread Tommy G. he built his engine, and Tommy runs 9.99 on a drivable street car. and the builder's personal Saleen Mustang runs 8's. okay you don't want to hear all this....
of course, it was done in a garage, i have no "real" warranty, but when you consider the care he took for the engine... cleaned every part, it was balanced so well you could spin it by hand... i say there is no comparison.
he used to be the lead engine builder for a well-known "High Performance" company on the "Coast"... i wont' say the name but he did not have a lot of good things to say about the assemblers there, the cleanliness of the shop, and the way they do business.

i dunno ~425 HP? (i have bigger carb yet to be tuned.)
i'd guess ~$4,500 from same guy if it was all was new. he gets the parts cheap, the machining cheap, and once again, no "real" warranty, but i'd use him again in a heartbeat. (and i plan to.)
if you look at the websites of our supporting vendors, you will see prices are about the same for each type of engine. about $7K for a turn-key 347, etc. if you are shopping around, your proximity to the builder and shipping cost may very well tip the monetary scale as far as final decision.
i've found our supporting vendors are ~$1500 cheaper for a comparable engine from a "brand name" engine builder. not only that, you have their support.
Started its life as a 94 351 roller block with 50k on it. $300
Stroker kit scat. $1400
Air gap intake $300
Gaskets $200
Cam, lifters springs etc $1100 ( thanks levy for the help )
Holley 750 do $500
Alt, water pump, timing cover. $350
Fuel pump $80
Starter $100
Rhs 200 cc heads $850
Machining and assembly $2000
We are south of $8000 which is what I expect the total to be once finished
There was a miscalculation by my engine builder which required a second set of pistons, -22 vs -27.5. We haven't worked out which of us is covering that $500 mistake yet.
I'm thinking I'll be around 500 hp. I'm waiting to hear what Gordon's cam is going to sound like.
