I hear from many that a great thing to do with my engine would be to get some new heads from Ford. Model year 99+. I realize this will cost me around $2000 after parts and labor. Some questions:
- How much extra horsepower (@ crank) will that add to my ~215? Torque?
- I see in a parts catalog it is possible for $3,400 to instead buy an entire new engine: "4.6 2v engine includes new block bored 0.20 over, Cobra crank, Eagle H-beams, ARP main studs, FM bearings, JE pistons, and all machine work." How do you all think this engine would perform vs. my current
4.6 with those new heads added?- With either of those above setups, would it be advantageous to add underdrive pulleys and a timing adjuster?
Thanks! (still looking for new front seats - leather/saddle) Scott
