Can I Bore a 4.6 to a 5.0?

[Fonzarelli]

I have 2000 GT auto with 28,000 miles and the mods in my sig. I am ready to get some real hp out of this motor. A supercharger will come in due time but what do you suggests i do to the bottom end. Also let me know how much hp i will gain from your suggestions.

I am woking with 4,000 from income tax return.

i think VT Engines does a stroker kit to get you to 5.0...look them up at VT Engines website

you cannot bore out a non-sleeved modular engine block enough to get 5.0L. so stroking is needed. you could ofcoarse, get a sleeved block, but i'm not sure how much more you could bore it and it's pricey. i think the largest 4.6L based block has been bored/stroked to 6.0L.

.020" overbore, 3.75" crank, rods, pistons=5.0L............You'll love it..............there's one in my car.

You should change your W4 to withhold $300 per month less. Set up an automatic payroll deduction to a savings or investment account.

SHM's 6.0L block is a 5.4 design.
