Looking for a good motor set up. . .

very true, Just all the hype about it makes me scared....
Everyone's like "These motors pop RIGHT AT 500.01HP"

I know the rods are ****, and I'm slowly knocking away hols in my stock pistons, But I would love to not have to buy a crank.

Is there anyone out there running over 500hp on a stock crank?

Mustang people are weird to me (not an insult)

Back when I had my DSM there wernt really any things like (the stock motor can talk only THIS MUCH HP!!!)

I had a stock 2.0L motor lay down 320HP to 4 wheels, and that same motor, with just wiesco's put over 400hp to the wheels.

It seems like making power with the 4.6 is harder, or atleast more expensive.

...one thing i did notice that i dont understand, 1/2 of a 4.6 motor is 2.3L... the eclipse was a 2.0L But the intake and exhaust ports on the eclipse are 2 times the size of the 4.6L

Not bashing ford or anything (duh I have a stang) I just don't understand some of the things they did w/ the motors.

I am looking to build up a short block I am buying. I know I am going to bore her out .30 but not sure what brand pistons, cams (duration too), and intake to go with. I dont wanna make the car undrivable for longtrips and stuff. Just a lot better than stock and still able to go anywhere. thanks

Why exactly are you going .030 over? It doesn't add HP...so i'd go .020 over this way if you have to rebuild in the future you will then still be able to go .030 over and not have to buy a new block.
