I am not looking for just one answer but your evolution on how to make this work.-The block is taller, how does it fit and rub-Can you run hydroboost?, AC?, Long tube headers?- What are the steering shaft solutions? Pictures?-Do exhaust down tubes have to be split wider?-Wider "H" pipe?-Front shock tower interference?-Shock tower strut brace changes?-Battery relocation?-Oil filter size and location.-Hood closing.-Height of the TB.-Engine mounting.-Fuel requirements.-Clutch PP upgrade.-Extra torque problems for the frame.-Changes in PCM, tuning.This is a big request, but it is hard to get to 400RWHP on a 4.6 without boost, Trick Flow can do it but when you read the formula they use it is not a street car DD any more. From day one the 4.6 has been fighting with the 5.0 pre '96 engines over torque and where the pike is in the curve with the 5.0 winning down low for better drivability.</blockquote>
