UH-OH maybe I'm wrong, but I see 4.6 mod motors laying in the weeds... Its gonna be just like the old days when the Hot Rodders were pulling flatheads and installing SBCs.

It may be a Chevy, but the LS1s are sweet...

oh boy..personally...i never touch the stuff. honestly, that would be a realy great swap. its certainly not my cup of tea. its sacralage...i m not all that much of a purist but i do get turned right off when i see a ford motor in a chevy or gm product in a ford weather it be a hot/streetrod or a piss-ant little daily driver.

i support the guy for trying something different. not alot of guys would even concider that. weather its a gm or not, that cars gonna be fast, and a huge inprovement over stock and thats what its all about....

I dig my 4.6 with the 3 valve setup.  I just wish it had about 100 more cubic inches.

yeah 400+ hp on a stock engine with all accesories(depending, I think that they start around 300hp), I think that would kill a 215 hp stang any day....

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
