Heh, the donor car I bought for the engine worked so well I couldn't stand to screw it up. Even came with an 8 speaker, 10 disc cd player radio, and a sunroof that closes when you open the door to get out. Gets decent mileage too.
Kept it and had to buy ANOTHER engine... NO, I don't count that car as part of project cost..

did you forget about the lt5? the reason GM doesnt go with a SOHC or DOHC v8 in their muscle cars, is because they want to make power, isnt that the entire point of a muscle car, go fast and make *** tons of power? who gives a flying **** about a SOHC or DOHC 4.6L ford, they suck, they break alot, they dont make **** for power, the one 4.6 they made right, was only made for two years, face it, ford couldnt hack it with their push rod motors, so they dumped half a liter and went SOHC, couldnt keep up with the real cars, so they went DOHC and added a blower, couldnt market it at a reasonable price, so they dumped the blower and, dropped .1 liters and added an ugly *** body with an even more hideous interior, 4 years later they are just now getting around to re designing it. in all honestly cry me a ****ing river you hippy ford loving piece of ****, go drive your hybrid off a cliff and die.

Just to give ya a clue as to how far off you are, here's a pile of old used stock ford parts, that I think is faster than anything you've ever had, that had 4 wheels.

In short, if you would have actually read what was said to the end of that argument, we want to know how YOU could build this monster 9 second flat motor and make it do sevens for $200. anything can be made to go fast with enough money, but YOU seem so keen on building it for uber cheap and get great gas mileage, so tell us, how YOU are going to do it.
and yes he probably has close to $20k in that build. (I'm gonna guess at $13k for parts and if he had a shop tune it and install the parts, suspension and cage probably another $5k or so.)
(or you can avoid the question again and continue to bitch on about how capable the pos 4.6L is)

I had a bat hit me in the knee doing about 120mph on my bike. Damned thought I broke my knee cap. Just some blood, had to super glue it back together.
