Default RE: 3.8 to 4.6 swap

Again, missing the point. a BUILT V6 is a rare thing. The 99 V6 street legal daily driver we built a couple years ago was at 385 RWHP and 800 lbs less weight that a stock GT.
To reiterate...People appreciate a built car that is going against the odds. It show passion, ingenuity, skill and imagination. To put a couple bolt ons a GT and floor it around town is the same as every other guy doing the same. In 99, we had to custome make most of the shyt we did, but now there are alot of High performance V6 companies and it has become much easier. We will see 10 second street legal V6's this year. Of coarse they are Turbo and all forged and aluminum, but that is where it starts. The V6's were winning alot of the mustang events last year because of thier unique qualities.

This is not a statement to prove anything to the V8 guys, but it is a testament to the V6 enthusiasts to carry on and just nod and smile.
