Morry:

4.6 modular motor? Cripes, sounds almost as bad as putting in a Chevy...

Strongly advise: stick with a 302-351 Windsor motor. Particularly if this is the first car you have ever built. You are getting into something that is problematic: the modular motor appears much wider (Bob P. can check the dimensions), more expensive and, I can almost guarantee will not return your investment when you are done.

Stick with the ERA plan and you won't go wrong.

PS: I have found that the optimum time to arrive at ERA is when the roach coach pulls up at approx. 11:00am each morning just in time for the morning work break... a virtual rolling gastronomic extravaganza. Peter P. Keeps a running tab...

PPS: And when you search out ERA be advised that:
1. Its not at the mailing address on East Main Street, it's around the corner, and
2. There is no sign on the door... you just have to sense when you are close. (Their theory apparently is that if you're not bright enough to find them, then you're not bright enough to get one of the cars together... It took me three tries, so clearly I was a marginal candidate, at best...)
