First, it dEuce, I don't know why everyone misspells it.

I have 97. The 96+ cars all have the 4.6 Modular motor. If I had it to do over again I would wait on a 302 car. To do a head and intake swap on my motor would cost $2,000. And that's for 'not that great' heads. Parts are too expensive, and everything needs an aftermarket piece. Heck, it would cost me $150 to bump my timing. All you need is a timing gun and a screwdriver for a 302, but I have to buy an aftermarket piece that only ONE supplier makes.

Sorry, I was venting. The 302's are easier and cheaper to modify. That was my original point.
