I have a nicely built C-head 4V in Louisiana with zero run time I’d sell but it’ll cost ya at least $4k

What exactly do you have done to this motor White95

Teksid block, painted black
10.45:1 Diamond 30012 pistons
Total Seal AP SS rings
Boss 302 rods
Clevite H-series rod bearings
Kellogg crank
Clevite H-series crank bearings
Boundary Billet 3V/GT500 oil pump
ARP fasteners throughout
MMR oil pan
2003 Cobra heads [rebuilt]
2003 Cobra cams
Wonder Racing head cooling mod
Mach 1 intake
stock throttle body
JLT cold air intake
Coil on plug conversion

The bottom end is good for about 750 whp but others have pushed the Boss 302 rods further.

So its a supercharger away from being a terminator setup.

Better than a terminator setup. The pistons are deck height for a tighter squish, the rods are lighter for faster revs, and the block is aluminum so it’s lighter from the get go. And @white95, you can’t forget those high dollar custom cometic head gaskets.

I am still learning the in's and out's of the 4v life.

I am going to get a Mark VIII 4.6 4V tomorrow for $400. So I will be learning a lot on my own quickly. I will definitely try to utilize all the knowledge here that is available. Have a pretty good performance shop machinist down the road too. Tap his brain might be good for me also.

It has a ton of potential.

That’s true. You also set the rings for about 20 psi and I forgot the 3V windage tray.

Check prestige mustang or MPS auto salvage, they have a ton of an 95 stuff and have had good luck in the past getting parts from both places
