can we make our 4.0 any bigger? 4.3? 4.5?
hey, i know some of the older mustangs (92-04) with the 3.7liter engines were able to make them into 4.3 ltrs. can we get ours 4.0's to have any more? say 4.3 or 4.6 or whatever?

i saw a post from another person who said that its easy to do it with the 3.7's but extremely hard if not "near impossible" to do it with ours.

3.7's have thicker engine walls that can be bored into, the 4.0s do not, you'd harm the integrity of the engine
