Finnally after changing from building a 4.6 to 5.0 then 5.0 to 5.8 i have decided not the totally destory my car and do that so I am going to build a 4.6 Liter SOHC. Here are a few things I have questions about:

1. Does anyone make a bellhousing to go 4.6 to T-5 (not T-45)?
2. I will be deleting the AC any thing i should know about doing this?
3. Which motor is better to build for a blower NPIw/PI C/I or NPIw/PI H/C/I?
4. Who has the Best/Cheapest Forged Bottom End?
5. Best Compression Ratio for a 4.6 w/Blower?
6. And Take answer from question 3 and tell which cams to get

Thanxs
 
1. Dont Know
2. People do it all the time
3.Let me get this right you are building an engine but staying npi?
4. VT engines
5.Stock Compression
6. #4

It sounds like you still have a TON of research to do. You havent mentioned any variables besides wanting to go blown.

2. there is a FRPP kit. it's basically just an idler pulley i believe.

3. depends on your hp goal and your $$ situation. the best is PI heads race ported with valves and springs, supercharged race cams, and ported bullit intake.

4. you can get a rotating assembly from Steeda for about $1900, but you have to have your block bored and assembled. you are better off buying a complete forged shortblock from a retputable vendor. about $3000 complete.

5. 8.5-9.0.

6. depends on what blower you get.
