This is going to be a retarded question and im hoping i dont get flamed for this haha but what does it mean when you have
a 2V 4.6 GT engine?
or i know mach 1's are 32v 4.6.
Idk what the sixers are i haven't looked at mine but what does this mean?

I know its valves but what is does it pertain to?

god i feel dumb.

I'm pretty well versed when it comes to mustangs but i really never thought about this.

 

I always thought it was valves, maybe i was wrong lol....

 

2v = 2 valves per cylinder (16v divided by 8cylinders=2v) and 32v aka 4v=4 valves per cylinder (32/8=4) hope it helps for confusion and if I'm wrong..... I'll let others answer first from now on

 

ohhh haha my roommate was like "yeah the V means Volts". feeling pretty stupid right now.

Whats the advantage of having 4 valves per cylinder rather than two? Does it just allow more gas to be combusted?

 

It allows for more air to flow through the engine....

 

got it, thanks for clearin that up for me fella's

 

your V6 is a 2v btw.

 

ohh and 05-10 GT's are 3v

 

I wouldn't put too much emphases on the valve number. It's not the amout of valves that's important, but rather the amount of lift they recieve from the rockers/cam and how big they are that matters most. Not to mention how much tuning goes into the motor which is really the big performance/MPG maker/taker.
