Thinking of going to the darkside...

Dark side? You are now seeing the light!

The modular motors are easy to work on, but not as easy as the pushrod days of the 5.0.

Mods are more $$$ than 5.0s, but you also get more bang for your buck, as these engines respond well to enhancements in air and fuel intake/exhaust.

The stock 5 speed for part of 2001 is the T-45 and mid 2001-2004 is the Tremec 3650. There is a TSB on the 3650 and you can read about it here:

It is acclaimed to handle up to 600hp, I think.

Good bolt-ons are gears, TB and plenum, mid pipe, mufflers, heads, cams. Oh yeah, and a blower! That is, if you have the cash.

Browse the 4.6L Tech forum and you'll find a lot there! There are some stickies that have mod surveys and gear videos.

Have fun and let me know if you want any other info!

You call that the darkside? I thought that you were going to say that your going to get a camero or a honda.

Welcome to the intelligent minority!
