4.6 turbo with a glide or bbc with spray?

[2baditsnotachev]

I've got an 02 mustang 4.6 turbo it has a 5 speed. Should I just put a glide in and run it hope it stays together or go with simplicity and run a bbc with a plate?

We don't know what you have for a setup.

It is 11secedges old car its a turbo 4.6 with a 5 speed made 640hp on 20 lbs at the tires. Boost a pump with twin cobra pumps tuned at aps with diablosport. I wanna aim it more towards drag so ill do coilovers in back with the fully adjustable links and brackets. Im new to fords and really not sure if I should keep the motor its sweet but I can't afford a meltdown so im thinking about going to a 650hp bbc with a plate setup. Nobody seems to like that idea on here obviously. Or just throw a glide in it and try to keep the 4.6 together?

Sell that car and buy a v6 roller. Its too nice of a car to cut up.

The 4.6 is a cobra iron block cobra crank h beams and probe forged pistons will this engine live or will it be something im constantly fixing?

[2baditsnotachev]

I don't see how pulling an engine and putting a new one in it is cutting it up but yeah I bought it on impulse I should've went with the caged fox roller I had looked at. But I like the way this one looks way better

BBC ftw

Leave the engine, change everything else if you want. Why fuck with a good engine that makes good power? Just optimize the chassis for it

Thats my options with this motor and an auto and some suspension work it will fly the 5 speeds gotta go for sure though. How safe is this motor at 20 pounds though I don't want a turbo nightmare fixing shit all the time

Shave some weight, set it up for the drags, lob in a glidle, and run 9.60's all day long.

Engine and supporting mods, that setup is fine, you would be stupid to change it.

Put an auto in it if you want, but it would be dumb to get rid of the engine in there for a heavier engine that will make less power.

Any idea what a good asking price would be for that trans? Its got a 26 spline shaft and carbon fiber syncros if I could sell the trans ill just go to a glide and run low boost to be safe

Hey, I cut up a nice low mile edge GT. What's wrong with that the big block looks good in there.
