4.6L Successful Packages
|
|
|
This chapter will bring together everything we have discussed in the previous chapters, by showing
selected engine packages for both street and track that have worked well. This is intended to
showcase what is possible, and perhaps to get some of you started on your own project.
So, here you go, a few combinations to let you see the possibilities. Have fun!

Naturally-Aspirated ‘96-’03 Mustang GT
This particular package has been reproduced in a couple of similar versions on different platforms.
The components can and have been bolted on a stock short block, so do not feel you need to build
up the bottom end, this can be a durable engine combination without the forged rods and pistons. If
you are thrifty, some of these items can probably be picked up used on E-bay or at a swap meet for
less than half of new prices.
The SVO heads and intake could be substituted with the ’99-up PI heads and the Bullitt intake,
especially if you are installing this package on a ’99-up GT that already has the heads. If installing
the PI heads on a ‘96-‘98 GT, grind the wall out in the combustion chamber to reduce the
compression ratio. The headers listed are the bare minimum, use a long-tube design if you can
afford to. This package works well between 3500 and 6200 rpm, so it requires 3.73 gears to get the
engine into the peak-RPM operating range. The idle is somewhat lopey.

Supercharged ‘96-‘03 Mustang GT
This is a maximum effort supercharged street/strip car. If 93-octane fuel is not available, the ignition
curve will need to be backed down, resulting in 25-30 less horsepower. At the track, 100-octane
unleaded should be used as a safety measure. On a ’99-up GT, the fuel system needs to be
upgraded to a return-type system, which is not legal on a street car. The block can be a GT iron
block, or an aluminum Cobra block, if one is looking to shed 75 lbs of front-end weight. Once again,
ported PI heads and a Bullitt intake can be substituted for the Ford Racing items. Although the
quoted power can be achieved with shorty headers, I really dislike using them on supercharged
cars, as they crack within a few months use almost every time. I prefer to use a long-tube design if
possible.

This Mercury Marauder sports a
5.2-liter stroker engine that produces
400 horsepower. The added
displacement really helps move this
4000-lb car off the line.

Naturally-Aspirated ‘96-’98 Mustang Cobra
This package uses a built short block primarily to increase compression and durability. It is feasible
to use the stock bottom end, although power will be reduced by 7-8 horsepower due to the lower
compression ratio of the stock pistons. The camshaft is quite mild, and therefore very streetable,
but has a slight lope at idle to let the neighbors know this is something special. Combined with 4.10
gears, this package will turn 11 second quarter miles on slicks, and still return 20 miles per gallon
on the highway.

How To Build Max Performance 4.6 Liter
Ford Engines
by Sean Hyland
|
|
|
|
|
|
This revised edition features new and current
information throughout the text, an additional 16 pages,
and all black and white photography.

When the ’96 Mustang came out with the 4.6-liter V-8, some
performance enthusiasts were scared away by its technology. But
those days are long gone. Ford added horsepower and torque to
its 2- and 4-valve V-8s over the years, and the number and
quality of available aftermarket performance parts has exploded.
Ford took things to the next level with the new 3-valve Mustang
GT engine and the 5.4-liter GT and Shelby GT500, adding even
more high-performance options.
In this updated edition of How To Build Max-Performance 4.6-Liter
Ford Engines, Sean Hyland gives you a comprehensive guide to
building and modifying Ford’s 2-, 3-, and 4-valve 4.6- and 5.4-liter
engines. You will learn everything from block selection and
crankshaft prep, to cylinder head and intake manifold
modifications. He also outlines eight recommended power
packages and provides you with a step-by-step buildup of a
naturally aspirated 405-horsepower Cobra engine. This is the
definitive guide to getting the most from your 4.6- and 5.4-liter
Ford.

Building 4.6 & 5.4 Ford Horsepower on the Dyno

showing you the types of horsepower and torque gains
expected by each modification. Author Richard Holdener
uses over 340 photos and 185 back-to-back dyno graphs
to show you which parts increase horsepower and
torque, and which parts don’t deliver on their promises.
