Max,
Great to see you on here. I am running out to drive some cars at the moment but I wanted to post a picture for you to think about... as a younger guy you have a different impression of how the engines should look and feel and I really think you would be a great candidate to try one of the new modular cars with the Ford 4.6 3V engine and top it off with a Roushcharger:
In fact this engine package will soon be available direct from Roush.
