sohc

 

i thought thats what is was ....next question is it gonna be worth it to put brand new motor in it...3000 for the motor brand new then 600 if core . thanks joe

 

you could get alot better of a motor from aftermarket like vt engine or dss.

 

is there a website with info about the motor that you are talking about. thanks joe

 

dssracing.com there are several othe place to you just have to search for them. it may be a little more money but you will get alot better motor with forged internals.

 

Call up MMR (www.modularmustangracing.com). They're up in Ventura and make killer engines local to you. They're in line with DSS and others but they're local.

Grab an MMR 600 or MMR 900 shortblock and stick your heads and accessories on it. The motors from DSS or MMR are shortblocks. The 3000 dollar motor from FRPP is probably a longblock that's complete from intake to oil pan.

Craigslist.com will probably be your best bet for a bone stock 99-04 motor for under 1K. I can grab you a complete 4.6 almost anytime in NorCal for less than 1000 bucks off craigslist. If it saves you 2K then spending 400 bucks on gas to drive and get a motor is cheap.
