Welll - actually it was one of those rhetorical questions from my perspective - I've got a Mk LSC and a 70 convert - but what got me thinking was a post on another site from a guy wanting to convert a 4.6 car to a 5.8 - I can't even IMAGINE doing that!! I'm always dreamin'/schemin' and am very impressed with the Lightning motor - and seems I've read that the block is taller than the 4.6 but that otherwise things are similar (i.e. the heads) so thought it must be maybe REASONABLY possible. Thanks for the leads - I'm always looking for neat new ideas. (Gordonville is just 6 mi West of Cape Girardeau) Besides, although I'll probably end up with a long rod warmed up 351 in my LSC, a nice 4 valve 5.4 and hopped 4R70W WOULD be neat!!
