[QUOTE="I_LIKE_TURTLEZ, post: 1579848, member: 31555"] Why not just start with a 4.6L 4v engine? 300rwhp+ with bolt-ons, triple the power potential, sound the best, strongest block to date, highly reliable etc etc. Why would anyone lower their expectation bar that much when every street warrior is pushing 450rwhp+ these days; every road has a Hemi or LS that would eat your lunch and take your lunch money. Hell.. most 4 cylinders are faster now. Had a buddy that bought a foxbody that had a 302 that was stroked out(331ci I would assume).. healthy cam, gears, GT40 all the usual fox upgrades. It was barely faster than my bolt-on 02 GT at the time, if at all, his engine block split at the mains within 3 months. I just don't understand the purist love for those 302 Windsor I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [/QUOTE]
