    Silly question.

    why are spark plug wires on 4.6 engines so expensive?

    The range for most high performance engines is about $40-50. What makes the 4.6 so special that the 2v wires run for 70-80, and the 4v at 110-130?

    Are these ones extra hollow? :shrug:

    teh connecters are different. where it attaches to the coil is a ford specific connecter. also the boot that goes to teh plug is deep. plus some of the wires are fairly long.
