I would just rebuild the engine thats in the car versus getting a 03/04 cobra shortblock.

Didn't you say you made 395rwhp at 6lbs , and now your at 415rwhp at 12lbs??? Something doesn't make sense double the boost for 20 rwhp

The line we tapped into was messed up. It was more like 8. It made only 415 @ 12lbs because it was on its last leg.

One nice thing ...Is the block is a Teksid(best damn block made for big HP out of the 4.6s made"design\made in Italy" if that gives you a hint) and crank is forged
That's a plus
they also say the B heads love F\I .
Only real down fall is piston and rods good for about 400HP,after that your pushing it.

Like other members stated, its how the old owner took care of it.
But the 4.6 Liter in general is great motor for reliability.
100k really is nothing for these motors.
Im close myself to reaching that 100k on my 97 4V with no issues and its still a beast

Just my 2 from a 97 owner

Cool story bro! I don't understand what point you are trying to reach though.

Cool story bro! I don't understand what point you are trying to reach though.

I think he's trying to tell you to REBUILD your motor as you have a better/lighter block and good flowing B Heads when you add boost. So in short, get new rods and pistons (forged) and get the heads cleaned up while their off and turn up the boost.
