custom 4 inch power pipe
Foxlake stage 1 heads
Vt stage 3 blower cams
fms shorties
bbk x pipe
flows
eagle rods and pistons, 03/04 cobra crank
block has been bored and milled .030 over
auburn rear end w/ 4.10 gears(this thing flies of the line)
gripps control arms
koni shocks and struts
eibach springs
full msd ignition DIS-4 module, with wires, blaster coils, and distrubtor
42 lb injectors, s.s fuel lines, walbro 255 in-tank and in-line fuel pumps

Yeah, yeah, but everyone knows it's true. Everyone out there who put money into their 2v's sais if they did it all over again they wouldn't do it again! Full exhaust and gears is all I would put into a 2v again! Other than that, my old 2v is in pieces on the garage floor since I traded it for a cobra motor!

Ohh, Demon_head when are you gonna take a picture of your car with the jack out from under the front?



.....lol................ get some 1.5" BBK's They are nice and cheap for quality! It'll set your car proper! I have 1.5" up front and .75" out back! She sits pretty

You should sell it. 2v non-pi motors are junk and you'll waste your money modding it!


Ohh and what was Mexgt thinking??? This is the 2v 4.6 section...DUH
eh if he can do the work himself a PI swap isnt too bad and thats a good boost

Wrong. Actually a stock 2v non-pi motor with a pi swap will have more hp than a stock pi motor.


And once again, If you would think before you speak.. It wasn't in this section, the mods moved it here.

More like everyone that put money into their 2v building the motor for a n/a application wouldn't do it again. 400+ WHP in a cam only stock motor + boost... you don't see me complaining...

lol well exhaust and gears is the only thing i planned on doing anyways, other than a few appearance mods. i cant afford to do anything to the engine really.

if you only want to spend 500 you wont get very far. you could put together a nitrouskit,but that is iffy. depending on what you want out of the car i would go from there. you have to decide if you want a drag,track or just a show car. then make a plan. you can throw a bunch of money at a car, but if you dont know what you want in the end you wont gain much.
