I'm not sure how to paste a link.
I'm sure after a while, I'll want more horses. Spend and spend to satisfy the thirst. But I'll start of with the basics. Alot of the work has been done.
My boss has 2 engines lying around. twin overhead cam, 4.6 litre alloy block,
from america. Is this worth a look. My engine guy says a dohc engine won't fit. I'ts about 700mm across the covers. He's also got a t5 with no bellhousing.

Word of advice Jaydee. Before you go dropping a pile of cash on any motor, have a talk to your local engineer about what is realisticaly do-able in your state. You may save yourself from wasting a lot of money.

It may be cheaper to buy an old 302 but you may end up blowing all those savings out the window when you try to get it through your local emissions test.

The quad Cam 4.6 has been put in a CR in the past but you will probably need to cut the foot boxes and since it's already painted that's probably not a good option.

Cheers
