393 cubic inches = roughly 6.2L without me pulling out a calculator and is based on a 351 block (5.8L).
It all depends on the heads, cam, and intake that he chose as to how much power it will or won't make. An engine that big needs some serious heads, a serious cam, and a serious intake to breathe and extract full potential. You could figure it will make anywhere from 300rwhp with an utter crap head/cam/intake combo to somewhere well over 500rwhp with a "serious" heads/cam/intake combo.
To give you a ROUGH idea of what that engine COULD do, there's a guy with a Fox at our track who has a 393 in his. It's built up pretty good and on slicks (I think 10.5 wide) it runs in the mid 6s in the 1/8.
By the way, if you won't show you the engine he's probably 100% full of shit. If I went through all the trouble of swapping all the necessary hardware to run a Windsor based motor in my '98 (which is alot of work...almost everything is different from Modular Motor including all transmission, accessories, k-member, tranny mounts, etc) then I damn sure would pop the hood every time I stopped.
Any Mustang with an off-road mid pipe and Flowmasters and turndowns is going to be ungodly loud.
