Hey everyone. Been a while since I have been on here. Hope all is well. I have just got the engine out of my 2000 GT and have a couple of options. . .

1. build my SOHC or

2. Have a chance for a Mach 1 03 Engine with low miles. My question, other than the computer, what else do i have to do to make this work. I know my speedo clustor is different and such. How do I make that right? What all do i gotta do for this to work. Thanks everyone.

To me the mach 4v isn't all that impressive. If your going to go through all that trouble, you might as well install a 03 cobra motor. Then your talking MASSIVE power. Just buy a VT long block, and don't look back.

Built 2v will make more power than a stock mach motor. But the 4v motor in the mach has much more power potential than a 2v if built up. Just matters on what you want and how deep your pockets are.

the reason i ask is i came across a 4v that i can get for a good price. i am going tobuild which ever one i want. i know i can make the 2v powerful too, just wanted to know what all i had to do to make it work. btw, not big on paying a big money for a 03 cobra motor and really cant find one.
