We are still waiting on dyno numbers etc. from Reg on that setup with the Roushcharger. You can expect atleast 600HP out of it, hopefully 700ish. The sound is a little different overall. It actually makes the whole car a lot more "sporty" if you know what I mean.

We have a lot of respect here for the 4.6 line of engines having owned a number of later model Fords with that setup. One of the shop cars is a TT Terminator and we are also completing a '67 FB for a customer that will feature a 4.6 4V with stack injection that will be killer on the street.

These engines are amazingly smooth and have a ton of potential. The 3V version is nice because it combines the better breathing with the smaller overall size of the 2V engine (smaller cam covers etc.).

The only hook we have in the Northeast is the knucklehead emissions requirements, the way the laws are being written they are encouraging you to use older/dirtier engines ... but that's another can of worms.
