Hmm I thought the internals were good to 550. From what I've heard swapping and engine can be cheaper than forging if the right engine can be found. It looks like I'm going to do a twin turbo and keep the boost low until my pockets grow. He has all the parts ready to order for that. But it is...

But I would say 750hp would be my goal. He says with deep enough pockets I could get 1000 plus. But I don't think my pockets go that deep.

Right and I do have a builder. Statts Performance in muncy pa. He specializes in ford motors and building race cars. I do intend to have this as my daily driver and race it too. Right now we aim for 500hp as I know the engine can't handle much more than that. So if I wanted to go more I know I...

Not really brand loyal. I saw the mod Max ones. I know this isn't cheap but hey can't blame me for wanting to save money. I will take a look at summit and rock auto. I like to hear what others did so I know exactly what works well.

Looking to boost my Marauder. I'm looking for a good price on forged internals. If anyone has some or can point me in the direction of a good price for them, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm interested. I'm about to boost my MM so I should probably be able to stop it. That's important right?

Yeah, I know that when the glass is dry they chatter. But this is happening even as it is actively raining. I can slow it down but then I can't really see well. Even when the windshield has water on it, it seems to do it. Only when the glass is super wet does it not chatter. That's why I am fed...

No, I don't. Should I?

I feel ridiculous for asking this but... I've had terrible luck with wipers. Everyone I buy does this skipping thing when I'm using them unless it is pouring rain. I don't know if this is inherent to the car. Like Jeeps have a hard time with them due to their flat windshield. But anyway, is...

Looks like I'm going twins as well. This was a very good thread. However, I am not doing the work... it'd be an epic fail if I did. I was lucky to find a guy who specializes in Fords and turbos... good combo.

Yeah, it's about 1294 right now. I don't have enough. I have some Liberty heads from the 1800's with collector value above intrinsic. I have guns too. And a Marauder. But again, don't think I'd come close. Plus, I like my audiophile stereo I had custom installed. So... I don't see a stereo in...

Hey... well... I've got Krugerrands and 1oz Gold Eagles... but... probably no where near enough... and by probably, I mean... not.

So I'm sure I'll get a lot of jokes with this question, but I'll ask nonetheless. Do the marauders seriously make different RWHP depending on color? Did Mercury alter the power capabilities for different colors? Or are people just bashing other MM due to not liking the color?

Okay, I may just wait to see what I end up doing. Probably doing an eaton but the guy who is doing the work actually is friends with a Procharger rep and may be able to get me a free or severely discounted procharger SC. But nothing is decided now. Thanks for the info!

Is this something that would be needed when upgrading to a supercharger?

Yes, that's my thought. I think everyone is right about touching up. The little vile of paint my in laws bought from the dealer I think will suffice for the time being. But... I have the funds right now for an actual garage to do it. I don't trust myself with touching up :). I am a pastry chef...

What do you mean by that? Insurance will help pay for it? I have it insured but only the bare minimum. I do have it covered for acts of God like hail. Since we get a lot of hail here and the neighbors have a tree that I think is dying and will fall any minute. Of course, it is still standing 5...

Well that is the exact spot mine is doing it. So you are saying it is rust causing that? That sucks. Is it fixable without costing too much? Seems like it could be sanded and repainted.

Nah, the car as a whole has great paint condition. There are just some areas that are scratched. They are just unslightly. But like I said, there are maybe a couple spots that are rather deep and metal is exposed. They are about 1 to 2 inches long, but I don't want rust to set in. I think you...

So the marauder I inherited has a lot of scratches on in. Nothing really bad but it looks like my father in law drove it through a jungle. I have no idea how he managed to scratch it so much... even on the top of the car. One scratch is particularly deep so I don't want rust to set in. Anyway...
