my fox has a stock 5.0. i thought about swapping a crown vic 4.6 into it. i would of course do the PI head/intake swap. if its not that much of HP gain, then I'd stick to the 5.0
stay 5.0, the most you can get out of a 4.6 with bolt ons and heads and cam is around 300whp, while at the same time thats all you can get out of the 5.0 it will be alot cheaper and alot less pain.
Huh? No way man, you can get more than 300 N/A hp out of a 5.0 engine. You might have to put a stroker kit in it, but regardless, there is far more potential in the 5.0 than in that vic motor if you're keeping N/A.
If you are going to do a mod engine swap, do it right. Get a 4v 4.6, or the new 5.0. Don't waste your time on a 2v.
Im saying stay 5.0 for the potential bro..??
but i also stay true to my statement in the 5.0 (302ci) theres only around 300whp to be made staying n/a..
yes you can go stroker but you wont get more than 300-320whp n/a out of 302 cubic inches..
and i agree if you do go mod motor go 4v 4.6, n/a id choose a mach 1 engine (h,c,i,e will net 375whp) for blown appeal go with the termi engine. but never a 2v even if it was a free engine (based off pure lack of potential in stock 281ci form)
