RE: Engine!!! "Need opinions"
One of the main reasons..I bought a GT instead of a Cobra...was the fact that the 2v -ers where everywhere to be found in case of booom..I called after I bought mine(just curious)and a 2000 PI motor with 67k was (My cost) 650.00 delivered to the shop...Also looked and with the proper mods and internals 500.hp is very possible.(F/I)..and thats plenty enough formy street car....
.....So I picked rebuild andforgedinternals....

What kind of budget you have to work with is what is going to make the decision for you.

It honestly depends on your goal... If in the end you want more then 600rwhp then go with the 4v, If you want to stay N/A go with the 4v. It all depends on what you want, If you want to get supercharged later or not.

Id say stick with the 2v and build the **** out of it. they have blocks capable of 1k hp (not that ur EVER goanna need that much) parts will be way cheaper, and if u have LT's u wont have to change them.
