NEW ENGINE!!
Ok, so I just bought a 32v 4.6 mark 8 engine. I'm going to rebuild keep it a NA motor raise the compression have the heads ported do a 3angle valve job, have the engine completely balanced and then get ready to assemble and toss in. This also means my pi set up will probably be up for sale in some time!

RE: NEW ENGINE!!
Im hopin to put out about 400, dont really want to go much more then that. Hopefully the stock tranny can hold up to that, but if not, I have two! Ya stock the engine puts out 280 on the mark 8 but Im guessin the loss of power is probably in the intake and cam profile which is definately going to be changed. About the heads I do plan on getting rid of them and I'll let you guys know when I do but it's going to be maybe 6months or so till I finish building this engine to drop in.
