4.6 two valve is one of the best motors ever built. My crown victoria is dead simple to work on and drives so smooth. Not that bad on gas and believe it or not handled new jersey snow ok. About as classic you can get for a daily driver car in 2021
Loved my 2V she took all the abuse I threw at her no problem.
I picked up a clean 2000 GT coupe with only 141,000 original miles back in June for $3,800. Between using it for pizza delivery and some road trips I’ve already put 7,000 miles on it in the couple months I’ve owned it. One of my dreams cars since I was a kid. I love the thing but I found out the hard way about those damn spark plugs blowing out. Happened to me tonight during a delivery. Nearly messed my shorts it was so loud. Had to go home and get it towed to a shop. Fingers crossed that’s all it is and no other damage occurred.
I have a 97 Cobra. Love it, I've been N/A, a 76mm turbo setup, and now I'm gathering parts for a C head swap with a gen 5 Whipple. I've never ran into any problems with the engine, it's been fabulous. Even when I rebuilt it it had 140k hard but maintained miles and the bearings/bores looked great. It's still on the 1st built bottom end with the teksid block, cobra crank, manley rods, and diamond pistons, only 11k miles since it's just a date night/fair weather driver now for fun. It's a very well designed engine, durable, reliable, etc. Of course the stock rods and pistons outside of termis aren't bulletproof but if you do the work yourself it's not too bad to build it/stud it.
That terminator is still relevant today against the cars out today. You add boost to these engines and with the cam set up they already have man it wakes them up for sure
Awesome 👍, I have my 03 Mach 1 waiting for front end repairs as I purchased it from the auction... After getting my nephews 00 GT up & running after sitting for 6 years, I can't wait to feel the difference in HP/TQ from the 4v from the 2v, thanx' for the video clips & info...
The video of your brother's bullitt is one of my favorite vids you guys have posted.
Literally the perfect video.
You and your brother are mustang gurus ! Very informative 👍🏻
Your brother's blue mustang looks great, sounds great. Makes me want one.
Great video Danny. Thank you!
I truly enjoyed this video and I owed a SN95 for over 10yrs FBO by the way it was a 2003 Ford Mustang GT thanks!
I have the 2v in my 04 grand marquis. 48k miles to date. I plan on daily driving it til the world ends. For weekend fun, I have a 351 Cleveland in a 71 Torino. It's a 2v as well. Great bottom end torque, good enough for stoplight to stoplight.
Great video. Just Bought a 2001 BULLITT. I'm a classic Bronco guy so I'm learning all I can about the new edge 2V.
Great video. I just picked up an 01 GT with 129000km
Fun fact I went with a 2v swap over a LS swap, 1 because of how cheap i got it 2 because they sound soooo good. I still have the 5.3 LS that came in my foxbody I’ll be putting it in a Chrysler 300 lol
My car restorer/builder friend installed a Kenne Bell supercharger with just 6lb pulley, cold air intake, on our mint 2002 triple black convertible GT 5 speed (still only 36,000 miles). American racing exhast. It is a real pleasure to drive, sounds great, has nice power and charger whine. Really wouldnt want much more power in a convertible. Car sits in the garage under cover. Averages 20+ mpg on long trips or more depending on the right foot.
Thank you for information. Very informative, helpful, and honest.
Interesting video, I have a 1995 Lincoln Continental with the 4.6 V8 with the dual overhead cam engine which i picked up for my sons first car lol. And you are right they are cheap to buy. I picked mine up with 63,000 KMS or about 35,000 miles garaged its entire life. Good to know I might be able to use it for another car. But it is a great engine as well. I know friends with F-150’s with the 4.6 engine and have gotten 300,000 KMS and still runs like know.
Even the somewhat lack-luster Non-PI 2v cars were a fantastic stepping stone for performance. Everyone jumped on the pi bandwagon because it was an easy way to pick up 35hp over the npi car but almost all of the gains are the intake manifold and cams, both of which can plop onto a stock NPI car for less than a couple hundred dollars, or in my case less than $100 from the junkyard. The early heads have just as much potential as the pi head and have none of the disadvantages. No plug blowout, thicker deck surfaces to seal better, as well as having much more piston to valve clearance over a PI head. The mildest of proper NPI drop in cam grinds advance the intake valve so far that they would bend valves in a stock pi car. You had guys like Johnny Langton who stayed na with their 4.6 2v npi cars and when he was equipped with stock pi cams, stock pi intake manifold, and renegade ported npi heads, he put his 3700lb automatic Thunderbird down the 1/4 mile and went 12.98 before dropping in comp 270s and running 12.01. What this really shows is gearing and traction make more of a difference for accelerating than raw power. However, it also proves that even the most mild of 4.6 2v engines has the potential to be competitive in racing. They will also turn 300k miles of daily driver duty if that's whats needed. For the cost of these cars, it really does make me appreciate what a good time it is to be an auto enthusiast. I picked up my Mustang for litterally next to nothing in a junkyard with a cracked plastic manifold. Did the swap to pi parts in the yard, and drove the sucker home. That was 3 years ago and now its getting 99 dohc tumble port heads and cams for less than the price of a used pi engine.
