"Cam drive junk" as in the tensioners and VCT stystem?Block is ok, heads and cam drive are junk and drive me nuts, so many bizarre failures on this forum alone. I built up my 3v as cheaply as humanly possible and I feel like I could have done a jy coyote for about the same, based on simple calcs. It's because I'm including the cost of all of the blower stuff that it takes to get the 4.6 to punch as hard as a 5.0!!
Lately I've been dreaming of a 2015-2017 mustang longblock, the newer comp CR cams, a cobra jet intake, and my twin 67mm throttle body. I don't even know if the 15-17 ecu would work in my car. Get a twin disc clutch and a T56 magnum xl. Turn near 8000 and make 550 wheel. $$$$$$$$$ That's why it's just a dream.
Thanks for the informative post, interesting take on the 3v.
