Do you know what block it is?The cheapest way to build a 4V is with a 4V block.Certain things are different on the face of the block compared to the 2V.

Im not to sure what block it is. I could find out tho its probally a 2v. Or should i just build the 2v or get a good block. I would in the end like about 500-600 built.

P.S 1low03gt do you have problems with the width of your front tires ? Also what drop did you do. Thanks

Really,it's all in what you want.
To have real reliable,emission legal high hp,a '03/'04 Cobra motor swap would be ideal,or just go buy a '03/'04 Cobra.

I don't have an issue with tire rub except for when i hit a dip in the road,other then that,all is good,most guys go up to a 275 width,mine are just 265's.
The springs are the Eibach Sportlines.

Lol i wish i had the cash for that. I just bought a bunch of suspension parts. I was tring to sell my car so i could get a termy but that didnt happen so im going to build mine into a snake eater within time. I just got a house so dont have much extra cash at all. I found that there are a few aluminum 4v blocks on ebay for a not bad price. So i could get a block and build it in the garage over a year or 2 and then drop it in :-). Also what gears 410s or 390s ? I do a bit of highway so i dont want to be two high in the rpms.

Thanks

another good way to start out is save up for FRPP's mach 1 engine, put that together with a blower or other FI and you'll be good. the mach one crate will set you back about 6500 USD
