    Well Crap

    About 4 months ago I was contemplating the same thing. I ended up getting PowerStop drilled and slotted Rotors, SS brake lines, and hawk HPS pads; all for the front. All in all I spent about 270 (120 for the rotors-on sale), 80 bucks for pads, and 70 for lines. And took me 30 mins to install...

    Guys with Mac Prochambers

    My current set up is Mac longtubes with Mac Prochamber and Flowmaster series 40's (dumped behind the rear axle). I like it, sounds nice at idle, and you can definitely hear it at stop lights. Everybody I know hears me coming, makes it so hard to sneak up on someone. But, everybody also says it...

    32v Lincoln Aviator 4.6L w/ P.I. 2v heads, ect...

    Is it possible? Yes. There are various parts you would have to pull from your current motor to make it work, but it can be done. I'm not too familiar with the Navigator motor, but the DOHC 4.6's in Cobras (Windsor block) are an 8 bolt crank= 8 bolt flywheel. The romeo blocks were a 6 bolt. I'm...

    Blown head gasket

    I wouldn't recommend getting a new (used) motor just because of the head gasket. If you had long tubes then maybe...lol Like GDawg said, it's not too difficult. Granted you'll want to take the timing cover off, intake manifold, disconnect the mid pipe, valve cover..etc...etc.., but your...

    98 4.6 long tube vs shorty's

    I should clarify, it's my mid-pipe that scrapes, not the long tubes.

    98 4.6 long tube vs shorty's

    I put Mac Long tubes in my car by myself in one night. I will never do it again. To say it was A pain in the arse is an understatement. Unless your going with a forced induction, long tubes won't have huge gains in performance, but do sound a little different than stock manifolds or shorty's or...

    Need some help

    I would ask what is your goal? Are you sticking on N/A? or do you want F/I? I would get the heads done and a good tune, pending on how soon you need it running. I would try and find a machine shop close by that can do it right. If not, send them off. Cams are nice, but you can easily tie up a...

    4.6 motor guru's please help!

    Thanks guys.... Yeah Josh it's me.Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. It's defiantly a romeo motor, 11 bolt valve covers and 6 bolt crank. If I can recall, only in 2000- thorugh mid 2001 did they make the 4.6 in the windsor plant. The 5.4's were still made there through. I will be getting most...

    4.6 motor guru's please help!

    Thanks for your input.... I'm pretty sure the motor is around 100K miles, but for 50 bucks I couldn't resist. MY buddy knows this guy and says he a reputable shop. The motors been sitting on a stand in his garage for a few months, trying to sell it. It's complete from intake to manifold (minus...

    4.6 motor guru's please help!

    Hey guys, I have a 2000 Mustang GT. Well threw a connecting rod in cylinder #8. Since it's in need of a new motor, I've been looking for something to put in there while I build the 4.6 that is bad. I found what I'm hoping is a junkyard jewel, but before I go ahead and get it I need some...

    4.6 to 5.4

    Yes your stock exhaust manifold will bolt right to the 5.4. You may have to slightly bend or grind off a little bit here ant there, but generally speaking they'll bolt up to a 5.4. Also, the engine is a little wider, and you'll have to modify your mid pipe to widen it about an 1/8 of an inch If...

    Florida Statute 316.293.5b

    Man sorry to hear that. I'm up in Tampa, and I've never, ever been pulled over for loud exhaust. I have Mac long tubes with a prochamber midpipe and no mufflers. I can barely hear myself think, much less wonder what other people think when I drive by. Don't get me wrong, I've been pulled over...
