not stock for stock john, they switched over to the 4.6 for a reason. stock for stock it makes sense. it gets better gas mpg’s also. but i would have done a 4v of any kind over that. BUT once he gets the 2v up and running, he can then swap in a 4v easily, or just get a set of 4v heads and swap over the timing cover and equipment. cant wait to see it when its done! ---

i always thought stock -stock the 5.0 felt better . both slow but the 5.0 was better to me anyway ---

To me the 4.6 feels faster stock, atleast my friends bone stock '98 felt alot faster than my 5.0 when it was pretty much stock with just an intake and exhaust. I think the hp was right around the same with mine and his (225 stock for mine). I still couldnt justify swapping in a smaller motor. Is the notch a 2.3 car though? ---

either way, its a bit more modern and will still make a fun car, no doubt ---

There are guys running high 12’s with bolt on, tuned, geared 2V’s. So in a lighter platform it will have potential. Setup correctly with full bolt ons, cams, gears, suspension, and tires should potentially be able to run high 11’s at 115+. ---

Def would have done a 4V as well, but this will be cool nonetheless!! Keep it updated ---

Yanking a 4V out of an old Mark VIII wouldnt have been a terrible idea. Could get a 5.4 block and swap all the PI 2V stuff over, Id rather have that than a 4.6 4V. ---
