Need some advice....
Ok long story short.....
Had knocking sound in 97 4.6L SOHC
Thought it was valves, rocker arms, cams, etc (something top end)
Performed a PI head swap for ****nit and giggles
Didn't fix knocking sound
Now have entire motor pulled out of car looking at possible bad crank bearing
Long term plans were to yank old motor and drop 03 cobra ford racing motor
Since motor is out - Figured I would rebuilt 9 year old, 150K motor
Money already spent on PI heads, more money spent on rebuild = no 03 cobra motor in near future.
Wanna rebuild strong engine with many options.....need those options
Car is daily driver with weekend warrior racing.
Looking for fun solid car.
Driver is very mechanically inclined but not to educated on major power adders
Ideas/Options: Stroker Kit, Bore (no idea but read about in other posts), future supercharger, rebuild stock, ??????
Suggest away, spend my money!
