I am planning a rebuild of my SBF engine soon (a 1989 8.2"/5.0 from a Mustang GT), and as I plan it out, I'm thinking about using some of the available engine treatments. I'd like to hear from others about the engine treatments they have used and liked.
Specs for the new engine will include good forged internals, aftermarket heads, the standard stuff...I hope to be able to rev the engine to 6,500 RPM's on a regular basis without worrying about it self-destructing.
The sort of "treatments" I am asking about include things like nitriding the crank, "teflon" coating the pistons, that sort of thing---and I am most assuredly interested in learning about the multitude about which I am unaware, as well. Not looking for advice on which brand of crank/pistons, that sort of thing.....unless there is a "treatment" you recommend that is only available on a specific brand of equipment and is not available in the aftermarket. I'd also appreciate an explanation regarding why you recommend a specific treatment so that I understand how it will make the engine more powerful/durable
.
Thanks in advance for whatever helpful suggestions you can make!
Cheers from Dugly
