[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 15280344, member: 171475"] If you engine ultimately needs bearings and rings because of age, you can also take the opportunity to do a low budged internal upgrade. Coyote connecting rods are ~$30 each. They are good for 600whp. So at ~$250 that's pretty good insurance if you are pulling the engine apart. Cast crank is also good for 600hp. 400-450whp is the sweet spot on these cars. Anything beyond that and everything needs built or replaced. Transmission, Axles, fuel system, crank, rods, pistons. Forged cranks need 8-bolt flywheels, etc. Blower is the best bet. Easy to install, makes cool noises, looks cool, fun to play with. It will make real power that's noticeable, not just noise. You'll get to tell people about your Supercharged Mustang and they'll be impressed. If your 4.6 short-block pops for whatever reason, another used one is like $300. If a Blower is out of the budget or not your thing, maybe a 5.4 swap. You'll make an extra 20-30hp and 30-40ft/tq. Swap seems to be a PITA but it's fairly inexpensive. [/QUOTE]
