Very nice write up. I am just waiting on funds to get forged but I am still not sure if I want to buy an already built short block, long block or rebuild my own with forged internals. Doing it myself would be a lot cheaper of course. One question though...how much Horsepower can a stock short block hold? With forged internals of course.

How bad is it to install new cams with the engine in the car? Isn't there a tool to hold the camgear in place so you dont move the chain off the crank. And how do you degree cams?

I just HAVE to say that those were EXCELLENTinstructions And/Or just a good read. This should be a "Sticky" for the New Edge '99 And '01 32Valve Cobra's.
