it will work but your car will never be inspected again. Plus, for almost $7500 dollars you can do alot to your 2v motor

It really wouldn't make any sense to do it. It would be unique but not too practical. $7500 is a lot of money. You could build a comparable motor 351 or 4.6 2V for an assload cheaper.

Naw, screw that, you can make your 4.6 that powerful for much less.

you can build a 351w for much cheaper and make the same numbers.

my engine has 140k miles on it! does that change it?

oxfordgt

Wow thats alot of miles for an 00. I wouldnt go FI on that engine with out a rebuild first. I have an 85 f250 with a 351w in it i bought for $500 that i drive as a daily driver. I plan to take out the engine and throw it in a fox body and to build it (h/c/i, new internals stroked and bored, new carb and a few other goddies) will only cost me about $5000. Look for a cheap block and go from there.

10:1 is a little high if you intend to supercharge it. You can definitely build a more powerful 351 for less money than that.

you could get a dar 302 based 347 and build it up for about the same price and probably make a bit more power.

a 351 is pointless in ur new edge body style, for that money and save u some time just find a terminator motor, put some pullies on it and have 500 rwhp, it takes a good h/c/i package for the 351 to hit that number and most likely u will need to either stroke it or bore it. Just use a terminator motor its easier for these newer cars, or just buy a fox and drop it in that
