Yeah 1200 trq without even blinking. But you would need a 6 speed atleast. and something like a 3.08 rear end gear. Those motors dont have a very high redline. BUt with that much torque you dont need rpms. Just long **** rear end gears. But with that type of gearing you'd top out at about 300 mph lol

If you want displacement, your best bet would be to swap a 5.4L into the car. The 4.6L that you have and the 5.4 are very similar and dont require a different K-member, etc. They are based off the same block. If you wanted a 5.0, I might suggest getting a new engine and stroking that to a 5.0. As far as pushrods go, you could do an actual 5.0 or 347/ etc but, you would have to swap out the K-memeber for one in a 94-95GT. They had a 5.0 and that K-member will all those engines to fit. I would not rebuild your engine at this point; there are a lot of miles on it and you can get a new engine just as easily. Good luck.

Thanks alot man. It's a Cobra RR 2in(2.5???)I think. I got it off a Hurricane Katrina Flood car. It doesn't say the brand on the inside, just a build date. If you wanna know my opinions on the matter, I wish I woulda went bigger.
