here's something original that i've always wanted to play with....
mercrusier (boat motors) had a 4 cylinder inboard that was aluminum and used ford 460 rods, pistons, and head. with the purchase of 1 aluminum aftermarket head (think trick flow, edelbrock, etc) you would have a 3.7 liter, all aluminum, lightweight 4 cylinder. add a turbo to that and you would have one sick *** ride. internal parts like better pistons and rods would be easy to get since its big block ford parts.
the only problem you may have is a bellhousing but thats what custom stuff is all about right?
