4.6 hurricane

[berzerko]

thinking of going with a 4.6 mod. how many are out there, what difficulty if any did you have?

Interesting idea.
You would have to talk to Mike Arps about that one. The OHC Ford 4.6L is 36 x 36 x 44. (LxWxH)
That's a big engine physically. Bigger than an FE (32 x 27 x 29), even bigger than the old 427 SOHC. (34 x 32 x 30)
I know Hurricane can support a lot of different engines, so maybe they can do it, I don't know. It would be interesting!

I hope you have small feet!   [smiley=shocked.gif]

We do have a customer with a 4.6 currently installed. We do supply headers for this engine. It fits under the hood and between the standard big-block foot boxes and he steering fits past the headers nicely. This engine is a tight fit however - it is a beast of an engine. You will have to supply the wiring harness connections for the EFI. Our cusutomer had fab an adapter to change the water and oil outlet on the lower front of the block. I believe he had to use a small hi-torque starter as well. It is truly an amazing site to see that fat motor stuffed in this size car!
