i need some opinion for some Rods/Pistons for my 98Cobra procharged and i found 96-98 Mustang Cobra 4.6 Manley H-Beam Rods/Pistons for a good price but is it a good choice or i can have better one's, like..?? thx

 

How good of a price?

 

oliver billet i beam rods with forged probe or cp pistons, and your set for a good 1000hp...

 

pricey lol. I have lower goals, like in the 600 rwhp neighborhood.

 

lol, well the oliver rods are good for like 1600, haha! Not sure if the pistons would like that too much though...

gogo reserve is 700

 

Putting new rods and pistons in a 4V motor seems like a job for a professional. Could two knowledgeable home mechanics do it with the right tools you think?

 

umm theres like no difference between 2v and 4v as far as the rotating assembly goes...(correct me if im wrong anyone) most of the differnece lies within the heads and timing.

 

4v cars (except the Mark VIII and Auto Mach's got forged steel cranks. The only modular motors with stronger equipment off the assembly line would be the 03/04 Cobras, GT500's, and I believe the 5.4 DOHC in the R's as well.

 

+1 to mfj that is a good setup you can count on. I would always go with the best because later on in life 10k miles down the road you can F1 that 4 valve and there you get to use that great power. And with great forged pistons like the probe ones your tuner can screw up while he is doing his tune and hear some pinging and not F up your engine. Just pay a little more now and get a better longer lasting more hp holding shortblock. And if you have some extrah cash pm me and i have a great head guy out here that does someee crazzy heads with a cnc for a great price. I mean they flow greatttt
