i can't work on the car majorly like that where i live. condo rules and all that.a haynes manual and $1975 worth of go fast parts
Headers and a supercharger?
remember i have to pay someone to put it on.
Honestly, i think youve got the wrong car if you cant do the work yourself. I mean, if youve got a buddy with a shop, and he could help you out, thatd be one thing. But to bring go-fast stuff into a shop to have them install a new H/C/I/E or something would cost a fortune.
If it were me - since im mechanically inclined - I'd go buy $1000 of tools and an explorer engine. Use whatevers left for the gaskets, oil filter + oil, and other BS. LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF
If youre not mechanically inclined - sell it and get a 4.6???
Lightly used Vortech S-trim and beer for a friend, so I can use his garage to do the install.

Go to bone yard find an explorer pull the heads, intake, TB, etc. pick up a tfs1 cam maybe classifieds, craigslist or spring for new + assorted gaskets, etc. shop around for install. maybe 260-270ish rwhp range. you might just make it, the damn labor is going to hold you back but you might make it. them are decent gains in my book over stock.
It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but is not allowed in the neighborhood he lives in to be able to work on his car. It sucks, it really isn't his fault that he can't work on his car. I have spanked every 4.6 I have gone against in my notch so I would say no to the 4.6.
