Haha idk about that. But thanks lol

I have very limited funds now due to this project and other side projects. Knowledge is questionable, think some of the new kids know more than I do. Or that is how some perceive themselves

I was agreeing with what they said. these trucks arent made to make tons of power. now ive seen somebody put a built 302 in one and it ran pretty good. not sure on all the mods to the motor he did or what the final hp or tourqe numbers were but it definetly made more power than our trucks do factory

I can bold a engine loli was just trying to see what is out there besides turbos I'm saving the money to do complete rebuild with forged I beam rods to set it up for boosted applications. The nice thing about the 4.6 is the Mustang gt is a 4.6 and there is a lot of bolt ons and reflashing the ecm .
