Default OHV Engine

is an ohv engine good to work with or does it just suck when it comes to ramming air into the combustion chambers!

The Windsors make more power for less money when compared to the Modular engines.

What was your question?

Depends on who you ask. If you ask a Chevy guy they are the ****. If you ask a Ford guy they will tell you the OHC engine is better. They both have their goods and bad. But most of the OEM's prefer the OHC motor the OHV engine is old technology and it time to move on to engines with better potentials. Just my .02

OHV>OHC OHC has potential, but it hasn't been realized yet.

2002 GT's have a SOHC motor, which is OHC, not OHV. Yeah it's possible to do this swap but I'm not sure of the expenses/problems you'd encounter with that swap, it's something I'd like to do within the next year or two, I just PMed a guy about this a minute ago actually haha.
