Why.... the 2.6 is a fine motor, remove your balance shafts and remove the jet valves on the head and your fine.....Fuel is the only problem and everyone is solving that with MPI systems now.
My friend in Tampa is pushing nearly 500 hp with that motor.... look for your self

I'm not trying to be a dick but zirc have you ever owned a conquest or starion before?

awesome cars, like he said fuel system is a pain in the butt but lately a number of things have come out correcting this problem and the G54B is an awesome motor in my opinion. Largest 4 what?
