Is the 4.6 2V worth building? | Let me explain why!

[@Cole4737]

I had a 95 mustang gt 5.0, built the top end and did exhaust, gears, etc. Got done, had about 5k in the mods. Old dude at the shop told me I coulda built two chevys for that much. Looked it up, he was right, burn lol. Good car though, I had it for years, was my daily driver from about 24-30 years old.

Using a 40 year old factory GM 400 against a 1995 Ford is a bit of an unfair comparison, they didn't imagine 700hp factory motor in those days. Mine is a Dart SHP block it will hold over 1000. I didn't want to build a factory 400 either, you make some good points. --Ford had a better cylinder head there a few times that helped things.

I wanted a little more pep for my 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis so I swapped out my 4.6 for a 2-valve 5.4 with Comp Cam Stage 3 camshafts and PI heads. Swapping out the 2.73 rear gears for 3.73s next. Can care less about racing. Just wanted to make the car more fun to drive and so far it is.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

I remember you 😏. It's outrageous what it costs to build these mod motors but if done right they hold the power and just keep trucking. I will admit I loved my Vic ( black on black , lowered 2.5 inches , j mod , exhaust , giant stereo ) after that one got jacked I sold all my other projects because of how easy it was to steal. The best thing a person can do for a power bump and be easy on the wallet is a 5.4 swap ( non PI with pi heads and the pi intake from the 4.6 ) using the same similar cam as you have, a loose torque converter, long tubes and 3.91/2 final gear with a j mod. You'll be able to blow through tires with ease and it will make that tank perform like a much smaller car. I forgot, hands down the best bang for buck mod a person can do on a panther is a 5 or 6 speed swap. It was a night and day change with just a stock 4.6 😈 the 4r70e/w had the worst gear ratio known to man, it's worse than gm's 700r4 .

Even if the coyote is more expensive. At least you’ll have a coyote in the end of all that money spent. But if you put all that money in a 2v… you’ll still have a… 2v… a far more inferior motor. And the coyote doesn’t have to be built to handle 700whp. It can handle it stock, still be more reliable and tune easier than a 2v. This debate ended before it started lol

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@Itsjustaspic Yeah I meant that you could have a fully build 2V for the same price with MHS heads and all. I'd use a Teksid block and would never see over 1000hp so it would be plenty capable.

[@robertclark2714]

I just put a PI intake on a 2000 Lincoln Cartier that originally was a Non-PI. The Non-Pi intake had a plastic coolant crossover that eventually will crack. The PI intake has a metal coolant crossover. The PI intake and gasket do not exactly match the non-PI heads on the left rear and front right water passages but a shot of silicone before gasket installation fixes that. Noticeable performance improvement. You have to reroute the water pump to heater core metal tube under the intake also. I have actually seen this swap done in one hour but it took me a couple of days. I used a PI intake from a local Pull-A-Part junk yard from a 2001 Lincoln Town Car.

[@ItsPainnz]

its the fact that you can get so much power from so little openings for air. less moving top end means more reliable power in the long run which is why its more expensive. its still an amazing product for the price.

[@TAShannon1]

I built my 4.6 for $1260. Forged (-18cc) manley pistons, factory crankshaft, used factory forged rods out of a gen 2 5.0, and studs. On top of that i replaced some wearables but as far as "building" the bottom end, it was $1260 for forged pistons/rods, arp head studs and arp mains. $500 port job on a PI set, $500 deck and valvejob, $160 springs, and running stock cams on boost right now. My stage 2 turbo cams are still 8 weeks out. I've got about $3k in the motor total. That's with a melling hv, oem timing, oem followers and lash adjusters. The car is boosted junkyard style. Transmission swap cost me about $1800 including custom driveshaft. All in all these are not particularly affordable engines to work with, but they're not that bad. My goal was to build a poor man's version of a coyote lol. I build transmissions, engines and turbos for a living so i had a head start on resources. Transmission is an MT82. One of my mt82 cores had a gaping hole in the to of the bellhousing but was a good core internally. Since no customer would want it i built it for myself. Technically I put about $600 in it but already had all the parts on hand since i build these By the way this is an 01 f150 extended cab. It's a rear mount turbo set up right behind the cab on passenger side in the bed. I spent about $200 in intake piping/elbows etc, $100 for exhaust piping and turbo flange. I had a HX40 core laying around from an 8.3L Cummins worth about $100. Threw in some journal bearings for about $20 and ran it. Retains factory exhaust until pipe gets to the bed of the truck. Exhaust pre-turbo is coated and heat wrapped. Its a small turbo and spool is practically instant despite being a rear mount. Oiling is easy because the turbo is much higher than the oil pan. I dyno'd the car @396whp, 441tq with this set up. Same day I bolted in a 67/67/16 hx40 hybrid that i built and went 492whp and 498tq. Truck just runs out of breath with the stock cams and can't take advantage of the bigger turbo so I went back to the 60mm stock hx40. The truck suffocates at 5000+rpm and doesn't give the turbo a chance to build all of it's boost. With the new cams motor will rev out to 6800-7000rpm. When my cams do come in, I definitely intend on running the 67mm. I want a 12 second truck but need to keep it no higher than 600 whp due to factory crank. Lots of people make way more than that on them but I play it safe. The whole project is a testbed for me. I build mt82's, I build holset turbos, and i build the triton motors for customers on a daily basis. I need a personal testbed as well as unique showcase for my work. It's an actual 1 owner grandpa truck with a camper and all. 350,000 miles on it. The intake tubing runs through the factory intake/airbox and it looks 99.99% factory under the hood. The turbo is contained inside of a truck bed aluminum tool box inside of the camper. It is a legit sleeper inside and out. Only way you will know is if you crawl under and see the exhaust piping take a detour 😂😂😂

[@BIG_TreX]

If it's not ford fast its ford tough. Alot of this engine also came from older models ford trucks that ig 1996-1999. I own one from 1999 f150 and surely they sound pretty cool in my opinion. They never game me problem other than filling my gas tank every once of week. They aslo had me buying antifreeze in the cold but surely starts right up. For all my 4.6 V8 owners they keep them maintain so they can maintain u.

[@jonnathwill8318]

People think it's so easy to coyotes swap but the wiring the control pack is what's going to hit you the hardest if you are not a diy guy

[@eriv4735]

It’s not as hard as all that..if you have a modular motor and ECU already it’s a direct bolt in and takes no more time than a 4.6 replacement 🤷‍♂

[@doaburnout1205]

Stage 3 heads stage 2 turbo cams mhs 4.6k forged block decent kit for 1000hp is 3k t56 kit 7.5k mind you still need about 1k in bolts another 500 in gaskets going to need atleast a Bullitt oil pump or better for 250 racing oil pan 1k timing kit 1.5k head covers another 500-1000 depending what ones you get. Labor to put it together and in is 4k minimal. Now all that extra add ons like bbk 78mm throttle body 300 the eddlebrok vic jr intake manifold is roughly 1.7k for everything needed for the swap over including adapter plate for 78mm bbk throttle body modified fuel rails and fittings. Next are fuel injectors upwards of 1.5k for 1000hp versions. Mishimoto radiator is 600 metal expansion tank is 600 exhaust headers of good source upwards 600+ if you're smart and wanna turbo it for the low you'd get the f150 version of forward facing turbo manifolds with hot side cross over for 1.2k and have minimal fab work aka 1/4 inch off the hot side and re-weld. Mishimoto hoses 600 for all new. Holley ecu set up 5k for harness ecu and install. Now we say it's really not cheap to build them but if you do you gotta gem of an engine.

[@timothywalker2273]

Agreed I have a fully built 01 mustang GT I have every bolt on plus cam and ported heads I'm barely at 400 horsepower these are reliable engine's but not at all powerful unless you add forced induction

[@johnplayzguitar1118]

You could have the heads ported and just buy an intake throttle and cams for it and save some money as opposed to the full top end kit

[@CaseyGunn-e2k]

You are exactly right!

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

A modified 4.6 was used in the Koenigsegg CCX

[@keithwattson9791]

My boy keep it up👍

[@joshuahiggins5313]

Yeah but you spend just as much money on the swap as you would building the motor. You may as well just keep the motor intended for the car. 2v’s can be fast. My boys got one that makes 550hp he didn’t coyote swap anything.

[@robertaccorsini4663]

Can’t argue with that

[@mr.louweeziana122]

I've been waiting for this 1

[@jonathandavis7048]

Really good insight here

[@S3cK5hun8]

I have an '02 Crown vic and I do kinda wanna find like a truck coyote and get the regular accessory drive and swap it into my car. Just woukd rather save the money to get an RT challenger 6MT and sell the crown vic in a few years when it becomes a 25 year old classic car.

[@blank-re8qv]

hey dude, could you do a quick run on the toyota UR 8cyl family? plenty of content on the UZ series, but hardly anything on the newer stuff, especially on anything aftermarket.

[@afterparty8275]

ur right bro i was bout to dump hella money into this mustang buh honestly ima make it sound nice and tske care of it til the engine give out the get me either a coyote or cobra engine

[@crripper9770]

I totally agree, the amount of money I spent on my 4.6 2v I coulda done a swap or even built the bottom end for more power but I didn't have a place or knowledge to do anything like that but I did learn a lot doing that 🐆🤘

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

Andrew lavender has minimal amount of money in a car that’s close to 1500 HP. With nothing but cobra crank, molnar rods, Diamond pistons, some cams and trick flow heads. $5000 worth of stuff. Half of you guys that are yapping don’t even or have ever owned a mustang. A stock 2V with ring gap will easily handle 550 to the tire and that’s in a 3200 lb car. Not 700 HP in a 4500 hellcat. I got my Blower from a young guy that rolled his parent vert GT and it was making 380 to the tire. A 550 hp fox or sn 95 can run 9’s with the right suspension and driver. Thanks for the laugh.

[@jonathanglock390]

You could also just swap to Lincoln MKVII heads which from 93-98 were 4v heads. Then build something off that.

[@doaburnout1205]

Soo tbf I'm in the process of building one of these fully built mhs stage 3 pi heads and stage 2 turbo cams 4.2k . Custom exhuast headers and hot side 1.2k. Eddlebrok vic jr intake manifold 550 mhs modified fuel rail 250. 80lb detwerks fuel injectors 680. Dual 340lph detwerks fuel pumps 400. T56 transmission kit with bellhousing drive train and clutch 5.6k turbo I recommend on3 2.6k. Forged rotating assembly from mhs 2.2k. Mishimoto radiator 600. Bbk throttle body 78mm 300. Bbk cai 200. Steeda underdrive pulley kit 300. If you dont have a good rear end the 31 spline conversion is 1.2k from lmr.This kit would be you're reliable 800hp at the wheels monster daily. Boost guages are optional price for you're budget build but really when you break it down you're going to put 10k down on any car just about soo that being said you pay 5k for the new mustang or crown vic I'd buy the heads first then the rotating assembly get that out of the way and start my turbo build or supercharger kit. I get people want the raw power first but that's not reliable build it respect it and boost it.

[@SRT92]

Doesn’t jegs or summit make stroker kits for these things? These engines don’t hold up well for boosting

[@70bonnevilleguy53]

There are a few panthers local to me making 650 Wheel with just boost from hobbled together turbo settups, and then you get my body who ran a 302 with nothing but roller rockers and boost at 700 wheel

[@umakemerandy3669]

I didnt touch the engine and put a turbo on it. Had fun for last summer n blew it up in fall. Now its spring and time for a coyote or LS swap

[@Dragonic_Wolf]

In a 2005 Ford explorer that engine stock can walk away from mostly anything the only thing it can't is a hellcat hemi but with performance parts it probably could beat that too

[@thadopestcarreviews101]

Thanks for making this

[@MattB8030]

Hey, does anyone know if you can make other engines sound like the 4.6? I love the sound

[@MGRracing]

I love the noise it makes when you hit higher rpm. Hard to describe it but it sounds cool af. I don't own a mustang but I do own a 4.6 v8 MG ZT 260

[@wolfguard1180]

The 4.6L 2v that was in my 97 thunderbird was trash, but the 4.6L 4v in my 98 Mark 8 was had more potential.

[@simbanugz2906]

those thunderbirds weighed so much, I can remember the first time i rode in a 4v mark 8 years ago. That thing was crazy fast for what it was back in the days it was a ultamite sleeper

[@eriv4735]

Simba Nugz The mark viii is heavier than the thunderbird 😂

[@perryshotwell7903]

The lincoln LS had a 3.9 litter v8 I bought an 05 ls with a mark 8 swap

[@SoloStix]

2v = elite, they sound really damn good, had a 2004

[@bodyshotjake7475]

What does a whipple gen 3 5.0 cost? What TR3650 or T45 for that matter is going to take that things 7500RPM abuse for long? The coyote swap is getting to be a real close call but for now the pistons rods boost and fuel 2v edges it out pretty good $ per HP wise. Unless your looking for more than 700 to the wheel the 2v is the cheapest option. For now.

[@Grim0954]

I have a 2005 Merc Mountaineer Premier with a 4.6L motor. How can I tell if it has got the 4 thread or 9 thread spark plug holes and how many valves? The more I look for information, the more confused I get. Found out the hard way on what valve cover I got by ordering the wrong one. Mine has 11 hold downs with 5 being on top. The one I got was a 12 hold down type with 6 on top. Any help would be great, thanx.

[@brandonhenry894]

do a 3valve aswell pleaseeee i love these videos

[@mikeschneider2161]

There is no replacement for displacement and don’t forget the power to weight ratio is key

[@walterwilds6771]

I'm mostly see you talk about V8 mods but I recently managed to get one of my dream cars 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 with a supercharged 3800. And I would dearly love to hear your suggestions on modifications for my 🚀 " Rickie Bobbie "

[@GunsClappin]

Funny thing is I’m actually about to get one next week😮‍💨

[@bygodfreeman]

Hope ya answer, but if ya don't, oh well. Got a 4x4 2004 f150 with the 4.6 2v. Would love just a bit more torque and hp in low end and mid range rpm, any suggestions? It ain't a racer, but it's a glorified farm/work truck. Swapping a A10 transmission right now.

[@leopapio683]

You should do a vid on supporting mods! Everyone can get to 1000whp on a hellcat but most people never touch the trans or in durango or trackhawk case the transfer case!

[@marioserrato2130]

Can you review the 3v??

[@bay6]

I have 2 99-04 mustangs. Both v6, (bought my wife 1). I don’t know if I want to do a 4.6 or a 5.0 complete build. Not looking to getting into the racing scene just yet, but eventually maybe. I’m thinking of doing a termination build then buy a 2013-2017 v6 mustang then doing the 5.0 or whatever build. But like the cluster gauge is what’s eating me with coyote swapping the new edge😂. Any tips or suggestions on this?

[@Evil3val]

Honestly interested in the 5.4 4v that came in navigators 32 valves forged crank in the 90s models if in not mistaken and the block can supposedly handle 800 hp

[@midnight347]

That iron block can easily take 1000+ wheel with forged rods and pistons.

[@dzleeyt]

ive a 2002 f150 with the 4.6l 2v pi motor. i spent about 3k on a billet aluminum rotating assembly, alum billet crank, cams, stage 2 valve springs and new oe valves. i can get 6500 rpm, at almost 390 hp. is it worth it? barely. do i like it? yes. would i do it again and better? hell yes, for cheaper too

[@americanchauvinist1210]

The reliability is why I want a f150 with it

[@ryantogo8359]

Love them mercury krugers

[@abitoffcenter383]

Being the owner of a 4.6L 2v, I just don't understand the folks that say it's "the best" engine Ford has made. I'm also the owner of a 96 5.0L HO engine. My 5.0 will whip the s*it out of my 4.6L (non-PI) everyday and twice on Sunday. Recently I was able to get my hands on a good 5.4L with PI heads. If they'll work on my 4.6, I'll be swapping them out. Hopefully I will see a difference in performance. No, I'm not racing it. It's in a 97 F-150 XLT 4X4 that's been heavily customized. It has a 2004 F-150 King Ranch interior, 6 inch lift, a complete Cerwin-Vaga stereo system (2 12's, 3 amps, and has hit 101 Db), as well as several other things. You know, the stuff we mechanics do when we get bored. Anyway, if I don't see a noticeable performance increase. I'll be doing an LS swap. My goal is around 600 wheel HP. I'm just not trying to break the bank doing it. Plus if I do end up doing an LS swap, it's not going to be a complete loss. My son is doing a body off retro-mod on a 1973 F-100. I'll just give him the 4.6L if he wants it. Maybe the 5.4L if its worth freshening up.

[@Thepurpleguerrilla]

Or you could just get a completely forged bottom end. 63mm turbo and run like 30lbs of boost that will get you close to 650-750 at the crank.

[@prscustom2112]

With ported PI heads and manifold on a non PI short block, you can make 650 with 11psi
