So i was just at our local speed shop and they have a 4.6 block for 800 ... so i was wondering if id be able to put a 4v head on it and if it would work or not. Im not sure what is all needed in that or if its possible and if it is why arnt more ppls doing that.

Thanks for all the info.

there is a bit involved but it can be done. Muscle mustangs & fast fords just did an article on it. i'll look it up when i get home

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

Thanks for all the advice i just really need to do a lot more research and find out the best combo or the best for my needs. If you have more to offer please let me know.

4.10's, unless you want to go blower,but then some still go 4.10's and say it's still good.
