dumb ass

Hey...I see you have a Bullit. I was just going to make the comment that I have this friend that has a Bullit that is currently in the shop.
It would be running fine...bbbbuuuuttttttt.....hes not the smartest character..and he let a guy who owns an import hook up nitrous to it and ended up blowing his engine which only had barely over 20,000 miles on it. So just a word to the wise if you hook up nitrous take the extra time and do it right!

Click to expand...

to answer your question, yes it will work if you buy everything...but that is a lot of stuff. since the dohc heads have different intake ports than the 2v heads you'll need the 4v intake as well. also it's a lot of little things to buy as well such as the tensioners, cam gears, throttle cable, etc etc. if you are really thinking about going 4v, then just get a used cobra or mach engine. otherwise you have a great platform to start off with now.
