Hey everyone. The guy who was going to buy my car cannot get the money as he thought he could, so I'm keeping her. I'm so disappointed can't you tell.... :D . There's a connection between me and this car, she'd never let me leave her....haha. Well anyway, I'm thinking I eventually want to do an engine swap, as I had said before, for something in a 4V, but I don't know which would be better: a VT Engines Forged (don't need billet....staying N/A and don't need to spend extra $$$) 5.4L Shortblock, or a VT 324 Big Bore Stroker Forged shortblock. Assuming that I'm going to be using Fox Lake P&P Cobra heads, CompCams camshafts, a PHP P&P Cobra intake manifold (with the Reichard Racing 4.6L/5.4L intake adapter if I do the 5.4), and a set of Fox Lake solid lash adjusters, what do you think would make more power? I don't know if it's worth the extra money for the Stroker if the 5.4L still has a bit more displacement. Please help. Thanks very much.

a 2V stroked/bored with stage 3 P&P heads /aggressive cams/Ported Bullit intake..will get you around 380rwhp NA. I would go with the VT 324..since I wanna go that way too ...I'm sure Scott from VT will chime in..

A 2V? Holy ***** are you serious? Whoa...I tempted to just do that and stay with the true 'GT' ethic by not getting a 4V, and get the sweet-looking Bullitt intake :drool: Wow...that's another option. Is there a difference in bore and stroke between the 5.4 and 324 Stroker? If so, which engine is it favor of? Thanks.
