well this winter im not driving my truck due to the rockers and i dont want them to get worse so im going to drive my moms Taurus so what are some good idea's for mods?? im thinking some headers,cold air intake, and maybe get a set of cyl heads and get them ported is there anything im over looking or maybe inputs on my plans?? thanks

 

oh and what would it cost to rebuild a motor?? i found a 4.6 on cl for 75$ that needs rebuilt but its complete,and i could leave my motor in until its done,, what kind of hp/tq could i get out a 4.6 with p/i heads,and other mods?

 

i did what your doing last year to rebuild my trans in my truck over winter let me tell u that Taurus gets stock so much we had a 97 then and wow not use to shoveling the drive to just get out on the road. although it is a good time to get stuff done on your truck i did ball joints tie rods the trans and all body mounts on my 94 last year

 

im doing the same thing kinda. Except im still driving mine amd found a 5.4 to build.

 

Get P.I. heads its a waste if you dont.IMO.
For a modular SOHC motor you will spend atleast 1000-1500 using new stock parts for your rebuild

 

the only mod I would be doing would be a rocker restore... as long as the engine works well I wouldn't worry about it. if the rockers are so rusted that you don't even want to drive it during the winter then why would you even think about doing anything else to the truck?

 

the rockers are getting done this spring,, i really want a little more power from it the 4.6 has a hard time pulling its self around, id be happy with a little more power, and while i have a ride for the winter and a place to do the work at i might as well get it done,

 

oh ok then yeah do some new headers, Gotts mod, and an exhaust if you don't already have one

 

Gears.
It'll save your tranny with those 35's and restore AND boost your low end "umph".

 

it really doesn't seem to do bad at all on gearing it will hold 70 under 2k
