It will be interesting to see how the new aftermarket 4.6 2V heads are going to perform. ---

Def not bad for what they were working with but at $4k for that build I’d pass since who knows how well that motor would hold together. ---

> [@Boomin99GT](#): > > Def not bad for what they were working with but at $4k for that build I’d pass since who knows how well that motor would hold together. They could have gotten something like a 02 explorer motor and started with that base instead of a beat 97 motor… I’m not a big fan of a carb on it, but whatever… I’ve seen some really wicked built up explorer motors that make over 300 at the wheels totally N/A… The parts are getting cheaper to hop these motors up… A cammed 4.6 sounds really neat… ---

I don’t disagree that they can make decent N/A power but for $4k I’d rather have a forged '03 Cobra motor from a junk yard. Still a cool read. I’d like to see what these motors would make with the new 2v heads and a built bottom end. ---

I’d like to see what these motors would make with the new 2v heads and a built bottom end. Yes, 03-04 Cobras have limitless potential, that is why I love them. That and the fox, theres something about the primitive box design… one thing is for sure, if i were to do anything with a modular ford, it would involve boost! ---

I actually prefer the sound of a boosted mod engine than that of a boosted LS engine. That’s about all I prefer about it though… ---

Back on topic…I know trick flow is comming out with an aftermarket head for the 2V, is AFR or anyone following suit? How about for the 4V? I have been out of the Mustang loop since my MM&FF subscription ran out ☹ ---
