I've thought of that but probably not, it'd be interesting to compare head gaskets.mr_woodster said:sooo, is it true the 4.6 modular motor is nothing more than 2x 2.3=4.6. It all adds up , 105+105 =~210 not to far off ..i think im onto something here. Its ohc, so is the 2.3...maybe they just set them at a slant and welded away! what do u think?
Mike SVOR said:Oh you want some myths?
Here's some that I've heard:
The ranger roller cam makes more power than any other stock cam even though it's smaller. MYTH!
You will never need a larger throttle body than factory because the outlet hole of a garrett is smaller than a golf ball. MYTH!
You should never polish your intake runners because leaving them rough makes more power because it atomizes the fuel. MYTH!!!
A tripple volvo intercooler doesn't work because the rear tubes get hotter than the front and that negates all the cooling properties.... or something. MYTH!
A Holset HX35 turbo is way too big for a 2.3 and I don't know what I'm talking about because there are these things called compressor maps that I'm not allowed/supposed to understand. BIG MYTH!!! IN YOUR FACE!
You can't run solid lifters on a stock cam. MYTH!!! Been doin it for years.
You can't move the VAM to after the turbo and use it as a Inline VAM. BIG MYTH!!!! IN YOUR FACE!
Stock injectors are only good for 280 hp. MYTH!
man, i could go on and on here. hehe
