[QUOTE="white95, post: 1346345, member: 10188"] Can't go wrong either way.. Here's a few quick points: pushrod Pro's: easy to work on reliable parts interchange with Fox Mustang Typically have more low end torque than the milder, smaller 281 pushrod Con's: It's ODB1 and requires a chip to tune Not really any development for new parts in the past 10 years Can't achieve meaningful power production above 4800 rpms without ditching the stock heads Modular pro's: parts as interchange with just about any Ford built from 1992-2004 PI swap is cheap easy HP on a NPI car can use a handheld to tune Have a cool, exhaust trumpeting sound around 2k rpms Turn higher rpms easier than pushrod engines con's: timing chain replacement can be frightening to newbies cam swap can also frighten newbies Have a cool, exhaust trumpeting sound around 2k rpms [/QUOTE]
