How do I go about finding more information about my engine? I'm just curious. I have a 2006 GT. I see people talking about 2, 3 or 4 valve engines for supercharges for example. I think I must have the 4.6. But do I look at the VIN then research that?

Usually 2V,3V, and 4V are referred that was as a modular motor... 05-10 had a 3V.

It's called google bro, but if you have a 2006 gt it's a 4.6l.

2V, 3V, and 4V refer to the number of valves per cylinder in the engine. Your 2006 GT has the 4.6L 3V.

This is a 4.6 3V came in all 2005 GT:

This the 3V head / two intake valves and one exhaust valve per cylinder:



What are you planning on doing?

OP, I corrected the spelling in your thread name...
Confused the heck out of me, lol.

But seriously, you know that little about your car?

We all have to start learning at some point?

Sure, but I could never buy anything without first, learning about its basics at least.
Would freak me out.

Right. I know very little about my car. This is a hobby that I just started into about 3 years ago. I've got 3 Mustangs now. '66 with a newly installed 302. '06 with some fancy stripes. '08 Shelby that we just got this week.

So, the wife took the Shelby to a car show and someone laughed that it didn't have a supercharger. That made me think about upgrades to the '08 and '06. I'm trying to judge the value to us and the cost related to our budget.

I don't know much about the '08. It is a real Shelby from Las Vagas. So, I gues my next question is: is it also a 3 valve? I don't know yet if we are serious about adding a supercharger. I've seen prices around $6,000. Some suggested thta it would cost over $800 to install, tune and dyno.
