4.6 DOHC Motor
Ok my friend works for Napa and we were talking with his manager about the discounts he gets on special orders, and he can get a 4.6 DOHC motor for me. Brand new for 3,950 is that a good deal and worth the money? And how hard would the install be?

Complete? And what year? It's a "deal" but not much of one. Worth the money? Depends on how much power you want later... either way you will still need a supercharger, and if that's the case, the 2v will still give you more than you can use on the street.

Yes complete expect oil pan, and wiring harness. Yeah I know i will need a supercharger but I know with a DOHC I can get better gains over a 2V and plus it can handle more power than a stock 2V.

BTW, many of those engines from Napa are rebuilt pieces of crap, meaning theoriginal crank still may be in use, inspection is poor & many just end upin pieces again.I've had a few friends buy them & have issues right away. I wouldn't do it.
