What engine are you going to use?

[Lowfast]

Ford all Aluminum 4.6 3-valve in my 65 Falcon. Already picked up stage II ported heads and cams. Plan for a mild 450hp NA, if that ever becomes boring I will step it up with a procharger.

The goal is durability , broad torque curve, decent street mannors, and a big stupid grin every time I stomp the go pedal. Nothing fancy, just reliable and fun.

Viper V10. Stock to begin with but will get a tune. Eventually a cam, head and intake work, and a set of roller rockers. Will have custom headers and full 3" exhaust with hi-flow cats immediately.
