RE: 4.6L vs LS1/LT1
svtguy, I bet your contour hits on all four cylinders. We are talking about modded cars here. There is no question as to potential between some crappy 4 banger and a beefy V8.
From my experience the F-Bodies are a pain to work on because of the shoe-horned motor. Given, 4.6s are complicated to work on compared to the push-rod 5.0, but if you know what's going on, the SOHC 4.6 is pretty simple. People give the 4.6 a bad rap just because they don't know how to work on them.

dude ford is cheap too. thats why all the ford interiors look like ****. cuz if they can save one dollar on each f-150 they cut costs by like 3 million so they same about 100-200 per ford and save like 600 extra large

I know its competely screwed up, but its how the automotive buisness works. I work for a interior plastics company, and let me tell ya unless you are driving a BMW or other higher class car, your import isn't built any more sturdy than the domestics.
We serve Ford, Dodge, Mitsu in my plant, and several other companys. Some of the things that go on are competely insane. But I cannot honestly say that the mitsu or dodge parts are any better or worse than the ford products 99.99% of the time.
Ford does like to use TRW, and I freaking HATE those arrogant bastards. They send cheap **** to us and then say we are "droping the switches on the floor" when we test em and they fail.

i'll race svtguy for 1000 dollars and my title. Im not joking. His 2.5L contour blows and hes just mad that he doesnt have 8 cylinders, like real men do.
