    4.6L Build Up Questions...

    I am curious about what realisticly could be expected from a dedicated naturally aspirated 4.6 build up in regards to power. I read an article once where they got around 400 hp at the crank. I thought that was pretty good for a 4.6L 281 inch engine. It's 1.42 hp per cubic inch, about 87 hp...

    2.3 + C4 Automatic?

    Factory Camshaft Theory

    Don't know if anyone can confirm or dispell this theory I have. Ford is notrious about mixign and matching parts. For example, almost all 2V modular engines from about mid 99-current use the exact same cylinder heads and the exact same camshafts. If it's in a truck or a car or a Mustang...
