The work is the easy part. The humans take the joy out of the job. Don't let them get you down. Do not ever compromise your passion for the dollar, put your best into every day and your customers will see you are honest. I struggle with a few of my customers but when they understood that what I suggest is to SAVE them money down the road they began to send people my way. I never cut corners and I am upfront and honest with my customers. I give them the option " do you want it right or right now?"

I like to buy running cars before they make it to the junker to rip parts from. Takes away a ton of the guess work. I picked up an 04 Aviator suv that run and drove but had no OD for a couple hundred bucks. The aviator engine, even if it needs rebuilt, is a fantastic bang for the buck.

[@bstfordchannel923]

I feel ya on the logic and its solid, but logic is more on the cheap side of things... I like to buy things from this yard cause they are good people... They are straight up with the motors ( if good or not good ) most cases they do not know and charge a the ( extraction fee ( only it seems ) most of these engines are bad ( 4.6 dohc ) here is one I got from the yard but I had to change the guides and timing chain kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHnPdYZ-lL5sqq8

[@robsorgdrager8477]

If you have a p71 the ecm will run and drive any of the modular v8's except any one with vvt . I would still tune it but you could drive it to the tuner. The main engine harness should work with the 32v you'll just need the injection harness. The murauder, Mach one and aviator engines are the same , the Mach one has cams more suited for the mustang and five speed. The thing is they are called modular for a reason. The 32 v only reads the intake cam gear just like the 2v , the firing order is the same, the maf size is the same, the injectors are close enough and for the most part the throttles are the same size. But the blocks , heads, belt drives, emissions, sensors all the other stuff is interchangeable for the most part. Bell housings are all the same, I think, but am not fully sure....the bores between the 4.6 and 5.4 are the same it's the stroke that's different...again I'm not too sure on that one, I know they did that with the 3.8 and 4.2 v6's so it's a bolt in swap for a 4.2 v6 mustang as it's the same block. The thing is it's stupid expensive to buy aftermarket parts for the mod motors but if a person does some homework they can build a good amount of power using factory Ford parts. Just like pi heads on a non pi block...that gets you like two points in compression and better flowing heads...that's simple horse power and torque.

I like the 4.6 4v but I wouldn’t buy it unless I heard it run . Pull the valve covers have a look and smell ..pull the cam cap look for scoring on the cap. Even pull the oil filter take it apart pull the plugs have a look . Especially if it doesn’t run . The Lincoln mark 8 ?! When it came out they opened the exhaust and did over 180mph with that engine 290.rated hp in a light car like the Mac that would be sweet . I’ve done heads on aviators and Lincolns generally the valve seats wear so I would go through the engine regardless. Very doable with 4000$ but tight .now 5.0 is easy especially if you got one from a explorer the heads are a lot better than the regular castings and if you know how to pick the right parts you could get well over 300 to the wheels with those heads . But you should still go through it . Turbo 5.0 from a explorer? That would be awesome for the maverick! 😬 there’s also transmissions you need to think about as well. Mark 8 donor car then get it tuned. Oh 5.4 is HUGE !

IMO, back to the basic point. Any fat cat can make more horses. 1000hp is no longer uncommon. Question: " how many horses to make the car worthy?" 290? 360? What are the "total" component cost difference? So what should the math formula look like? "How many hp per dollar can you make over some minimal declared threshold of say 290 or what ever that is that makes the project cool enough?" My #1 concern is cost of components to cause larger hp not to fail and that runs the entire length of the drivetrain. My #2 concern is what actually makes the car cool besides hp? Isn't it that "we built a really cool great running car for the least spent without some nasty detail left out in the end?" Tires Tranny suspension not matching hp?

A 4.6 makes 305 why go through the trouble of a 5.4 an already not that good motor for 13hp

[@bstfordchannel923]

very true but the 5.4 motor has tq and the chain is the issue... I have a 5.4 sohc in my truck( good motor ) soooo what i have done is I bought this motor and 2 others and i am working with them to get them running into different vics

[@midnight347]

Because there is more to it than peak hp lol. Ever heard of torque? Ever heard of a fatter power curve? You can't use bad examples of 5.4 builds and go strictly off that.

Do you know of any standalone imrc controllers? I'm Midway thru putting one of these 4vs in a 1997 F150 and for now I just wired them open but I would like to get them operating

[@bstfordchannel923]

what you could have done was take the wire harness from said car you got the engine from to run those flaps.. Everyone uses the delete plates to make that happen. Thats why i never did the 3v swap cause of these little issue. it would seem i have dig into the motor to add hp goodies to make this work in my favor

[@eclipsegst9419]

@@bstfordchannel923 I have the full harness and ecu but the issue is that it's a 94 so it's an OBD1 setup, and it uses vaccum and electronics to run them. I suppose one option would be get a 96-98 cobra manifold, harness, and later Mark8 ecu, and just repin the truck and use the Mark ECU to run the electronic IMRC, but I was hoping to be able to use a little home engineering to avoid all that expense.

Have you done a Volume test on the fuel pump? I think it's supposed to pump a quart of gas in 15 seconds, if I remember. Also test fuel pressure. Free loaner tools should be available at your local parts house.

[@bstfordchannel923]

i can make a lot more , but i do not feel the need to make a lot of hp.. ( its not in the budget ) Question ? How much you spend to make 700 hp 2k 3k or 7k over some years.. What i am doing is just building a simple build what a little in bank.. Your are really blessed to have that high hp engine ( well deserved ), but i am just building junk stuff thats all nothing crazy

@@bstfordchannel923 cost $15k to build over 10 years. At first the Victor heads were not available and then I found multiple part numbers and flow rates for the "Same Heads" then had to convince myself to purchase the heads.

[@Cobra428SCJ]

@@bstfordchannel923 Just a few words of wisdom: The more you/I mod a car, the less drivable it becomes. 300-700hp it doesn't matter because torque is what makes driving fun. Trust me, 700hp is to much and 300hp is just fine for a daily driver. My 2000 Saleen Speedster is no longer fun to drive. It sits so low that it bottoms out on the crown of the road, potholes and rocks. My '70 Boss 302 (700hp 351W) has the headache of finding race fuel. The wild cam is beating the $5,000 heads to death and the stock suspension couldn't take all the new torque and put the leave springs through the truck. So stay in the 300-400hp power range, your on the right track.

@@Cobra428SCJ Now thats some good info and thats why in the ver begining I wanted 300hp to start then go 450-ish ( then stop ) high hp creates heat and friction ( car needs to breathe ) I will not drive it as its needed so ( it will become a shelf item ) need something spunky on the low end THUS why i am trying to do this kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2ndaqeCid1rgpY i am learning slowly about hp and tq ( street machine needs some tq ) need these to work

If you must go with a 4.6l, you don't want the DOHC versions. Stick with the PI, 2V's, far less trouble and the small power difference between the 4v and 2v is not enough to worry about.

[@bstfordchannel923]

I agree i did not get the motor some how i am not feeling the dohc... even had a 5.4 dohc and i sold it cheap... 4.6 2v i will make do Johnny like you said

[@midnight347]

Not enough to worry about? A stock long block 4v can do 450 rwhp pretty easily and a fbo 4v ecsp a c head one can go well above 300 to the tires na while a fbo cammed 2v with ported heads can't even reach that. The difference is pretty significant and if you build the bottom end on both the 4v can make way more power with boost way easier on a stock long block. The difference is significant I'm not sure why you think it isn't.

@Kodiak Radio your the only person to ever make that claim about the 4v modular engines ...4v engines didn't use cam phasers or vct solenoids ... terminator cobra used a 4v 4.6 the gt500 used a 4v 5.4 Ford gt used a 4v 5.4. No one has ever claimed those to be crap.. the 3v 4.6 3v 5.4 engines had the cam phaser and timing component issues along with spark plugs would break in the heads.. .. the 2v & 4v spark plug issue came from people over tightening the spark plugs damaging the threads or trying to change the plugs when engine is hot .. but for the most part its not a common thing or huge issue like the 3v engines .

[@midnight347]

A 4v smokes a 2v in every way and they're every bit as reliable. They don't have cam phasers and most of them don't have any type of spark plug issues. Sounds like you're lumping the 4.6/5.4 3v in with all the 4v after all they're all the same thing right? Wrong!!! Obviously you don't know what you're talking about. 4.6 and 5.4 4v came in 96-04 cobras, 03-04 Mach 1, 03-04 cobra, 2000 cobra r, 07-14 gt500 (5.4/5.8 which is just a bored out 5.4 4v) all these engines are solid and none have the issues you speak of.
