Yeap gotta agree with Tom. Then you'll need a good place to tune it all. I know Modular depot has tuned a SC one, and I bet MPH wouldn't have a problem with it.
get 96 and up dohc. or aviator. mark viii. or swap internals for lincoln 4.6 dohc front wheel drive. block won't work, but internals will. also FWD motors are cheap.
Bill, what exactly is the advantage to swapping out to the Continental (FWD DOCH) engine internals? As far as I know, they're still all cast components, and a nodular iron cranks, just like the Mark VIII's? As far as I remember, only the Cobra's got the steel cranks.
www.karcraft.com has some decent deals on low mile stuff. i would go with a mach1/aviator motor for the money now. or maybe hold off until the new explorer 3v's start hitting the used market
i cant get to the website now...whats am i doing wrong?
