[QUOTE="Little J's 5.4, post: 3055972, member: 36685"] An SOHC is a suitable option none the less since it is a popular mod and has been done so many times that (please excuse the pun) even a trained monkey can perform that swap... Though not with the beauty and finesse that scotty has reached... :thumbsup: and I will say that is one pretty show quality motor... Being a NA man myself since I am not keen on babying a super charger. I would lean towards the 4.6L DOHC swap. Though not as cookie cutter as a SC 4.6L SOHC SC it is still a popular swap and there is a large resource to draw from. But, I would do so with an automatic transmission first. A performance Automatic transmission built by someone like the Dog with a good EEC tune will, unless operated by a professional, outperform most manual transmissions. :read: It is a bunch of work to swap in a manual transmission in a MN12 with little gains. Unless of course, you simply want it bad. :shrug: Then my all means go for it!!!! I did so with my motor... :pepper: Make sure you get the Cobra engine, tranny, wiring harness and EEC... [/QUOTE]
