ehh i wouldn't say it is a whole different ball game when swapping motors. When we did mine the only different things we really needed was a set of metric sockets and some newer tools (my family/friends have done countless pushrod motor swaps so we had general knowledge of whats what). Other than that if you know how to take a bolt out of a hole and put it back in its not drastically hard. When you start busting into the heads of modular motors, that's a different "ball game".

ahh my apologies, then yes, building them are completely different, installing isn't greatly different, but IMO quite a bit more difficult than the old motors.

the 4v would benift you in the long run because of its reaction to mods. and i tihnk with the 2v you would have to do alot more to get power out of it. i guess if you waited on the trick flows heads ( flow same as cobra heads) then it wouldnt matter if you went 4v or not but meh idk, i wouldnt do it. i would just mod my car.

ehh that's just too egotistical really. who cares what it is, if you're beating it that's cool, but I really I would hope any supercharged V8 would beat a stock cobra. Some of you make it seem like "OMG beating a 4v or LS1 that's sooo awesome!!" but it doesn't really matter what it is, everything can be made to be faster whether its a 2v vs 4v or LS1, or 4cylinder turbo beating all three of them.
