Well i understand that im going to have to spend a little bit of money no matter what, im just trying to find the best way to play things without spending tons of cash...I want something that is going to really work but not something that measures in gallons to miles. if u know what i mean. What do you guys think about hopping up that f150? what kind of things could i do to the existing v6 or would it be better off to drop a v8? This is my problem! I need to know ways to make a v6 stand up and scream like a v8... Or better ways to make a v8... My whole deal is that i haven't been at this very long and i'm trying to learn what kind of stuff works and what doesn't. I am just getting my feet wet in the motor building business because thats what i want to do in my career, i want to be an engine builder. Let me know.. Thanks!
