making 97 4.6 a 5.0

what all would you have 2 do to the engine to make it a 5.0 isnt it just the heads and split intake ports and umm and the intake manifold with dual intake runners

RE: making 97 4.6 a 5.0

you got the whole thing all wrong, the 5.0 is a pushrod engine your 4.6 is a DOHC. The only way your going to make your engine a 5.0 is to pull it and drop in a real 5.0 or to stroke it to 5 liters

5.0

4.6 (but you have a non pi, this one is a pi)

And finally a 5.0 Cammer

Forget the 5.0 Cammer. You want the old dual carb 427 Cammer. That thing is a monster.

Notice the cherry red headers. And you thought stock 5.0 headers got hot.
