[QUOTE="50 Proof, post: 12730574, member: 24196"] The mach 1 and the 2v have a lot of potential, when you start introducing forced induction. Hell even the blocks are pretty stout and can handle much more horsepower than an old school factory pushrod 302 block. Only point I was making was that in stock form they are pathetic and extremely expensive to build. A 2v from modular head shop will cost you a minimum of $5k, and that doesn't really include any radical upgrades to the heads and cams. In the pushrod world, $5k could go a very long way, much further than the modulars. The 4.6 is a good reliable and bullet proof engine. It's just over engineered and not very good from a performance standpoint in stock form. You can only go so far with bolt ons for a 4v 4.6 before you need to start buying overpriced heads and $1000 worth of cams. I would love to drop a built 4v in my bullitt but the cost alone makes me want to puke. I'd rather build a 408 stroker for my 94 gt. [/QUOTE]
