1999–2004 Ford Mustang, 260 hp (194 kW) and 302 lb·ft (409 N·m)

those are the numbers for said motors all 4.6 2v

what is different while going up through the years....what did ford change in that time
?????

 

pi heads and intake came on the later years. A lot of guys will swap the pi heads and intake on the earlier 4.6's for a easy hp increase. These motors like a lot of gear also.

 

thanks i appreciate it i assumed it was the head but wanted to be sure. now to find a set...

 

after looking at the cost it will cost me about 840 for a set of new ford racing PI heads... i figure i would do that over buying a used pair($300) and then sending to the machine shop as it wont be that big of a price difference....but then i saw these.

thats supposed to be 40 HP over the stock pi heads? giving me about 80-90 overall. thinking of pennying up the extra cash to do that....or is my logic off or something im missing?

 

If your gonna spend the money on heads, you might as well pony up for new cams.

 

When it gets to the handling aspects of that car, you need to call me. I pm'd you about that.

 

i plan on it. and yes if im gonna do the heads theres no point in not doing cams. blacksheep i will be doing that asap. im picking up new wheels and tires and then i will address susepension. not trying to go faster then stock with suspension now.
