    I did read thru the article, thanks for the link to the update!!!! The mod motors with the overhead cams are really starting to look like something to play with and make some respectable power!!! I guess most I like the idea of eliminating some of the valve train components most prone to failure anyway...... Thanks again

I'm pretty sure the 4.6 would fit, even tho I may need an electric fan.. If I could find a Mark VIII 4.6 I wouldn't mind 280 HP

    but I want to retain the stock electronics, with a '96 up being OBDII, that gets much harder
