    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    I am not a fan of the 5.0 stroker. The 4.6 is almost a square engine as it is. Adding stroke can give you a little more torque down low, but it can also cause a lot more wear because the skirt of the piston is going to be coming out of the bottom of the bore. The only time I really like the...

    Put it on photobucket then use the IMG link....that way, it doesnt matter the size.

    Shifter question

    I think the MGW one comes back a little further. I had a tri-ax, I loved the shifts..... I have a friend with the MGW, I think the throws might be just a little shorter, but I liked that the handle is adjustable to right where you want it. The shifts didnt feel as crisp as my tri-ax, but it...

    Ford 6.2 SOHC

    I have seen it done, but they switched to a SLA type front suspension and removed the strut towers. As was said, it can be done.....but it wont be cheap.

    o2 sensor is broken. Can I pass emissions?

    Wow, he must not have made the home made mil eliminators right. I did mine back 2004 and they worked until I took one out for my wideband....then I got my first CEL because that o2 sensor was gone.

    tork tech

    They told me 6 weeks when I ordered mine, and it ended up being 4. Just be patient. I know some people have been put off that it takes 3-8 weeks to get it, but in the end, its worth it.

    Throttle getting stuck

    The oil from the valve cover is known as blow by. The modular engine was made so that some blow by will exist, and as the engines age, it gets worse. First, you must look for a reason for this to be happening. Do a compression and leakdown test. Check the results. If all the numbers are...

    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    The 2.9 was somewhere around 3400, but that is only for the blower. If you add the manifold, it was 5300. I have been seeing a lot of used cobra 2.3 Whipples for sale all over the place lately. Its possible to get the manifold and a 2.3 for less than 4k these days.

    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    The best blower cams are from Modular Head Shop. Just talk to Nick McKinney and he will guide you to the right cam for what you want. I will be running a Stage 3 PD Blower cam on my daily driver. You could easily sell a 2.1 for somewhere around 4k. I sold mine (twice) for that about a year...

    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    The water pump is very street friendly. They are rated for something like 30,000 hours. Sure, years past, they were not street friendly and were consitered a track only part. Not so much anymore. I can point out a few people that have been running them for 2-3 years with 20k+ miles without...

    What is not exactly street friendly? I would agree with you on the cams, but since they are only stage 1s, they arent going to do much.

    Mach 1 chin spoiler

    It comes black. The problem with painting it....it is VERY flexable. The first time you hit a bug with it, the paint is going to crack and come off. I have seen a few painted, but they were a custom piece that was stiff as hell. The Ford Mach 1 version is too flimsy to paint.

    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    I can see low 5's. The problem is the 2.1. It has several problems that you might have to address to get much more out of it. First, the bypass is in a retarded spot. It is directly over cylinder #7 and can cause some lean conditions. Then, the inlet. It is HORRIBLY inefficient. Lastly, it gets...

    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    It doesnt look bad, but I would up the compression. At least back to 9.5:1 or even higher...maybe 10:1. You will be leaving a bunch of power on the table if you dont.

    2v CNC Ported PI Heads

    I am selling a set of 2v PI CNC heads. They have Ferrea stainless valves that look to be 1mm oversized. Other than that, I am not sure much of the history of these heads. The guy who gave them to me said they were done about 2 years ago and have been sitting since.....you can see the tape goo...
