The 4.6 blocks ARENT the weak point, especially the teksid blocks. Its the rotating assembly.... they say they at around 450whp youre risking throwin a rod. put a baller bottom end in, and youre set to GO. However youre going to need a k-member (duh), and remember.. 5.0s are vacuum boost, 4.6s are hydro boost.

if youre hellbent on it, id find a block, buy a bottom end for it that doesnt suck and find some assembled 03/04 cobra/mach 1 heads (including cams) on the forums or ebay and go, i wouldnt even bother with some 1200$ cam set. Most of your (big) power on a modular's gonna come from boost anyways.. and Like stated before, these cars ARENT fun to time, been there done that. This setup WILL nickel and dime the hell out of you, and you better have a ****ing brain because its NOT gonna be a straight foward bolt in and go.
