Well one thing no one seems to be saying is that the Mach 1 engine is MUCH better than any other stock dohc 4.6 made before it, (esp the Mark VIII which is about the same power as what you have), you should read the posts comparing the heads, however you cannot put much boost into the Mach 1 engine as it does not have forged internals, if you could somehow find a Terminator engine for cheap, yeah you might come out ahead, but in the long run you should just save your money and either supercharge/build the engine you have or sell the whole car and just buy the Terminator. This horsepower addiction is not for the faint of wallet.

1996 Cobra with Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger and every other conceivable part you can bolt on it...650hp upgrade in the works
2003 Infiniti M45 V8 340 hp...a methadone treatment for reformed Mustang drivers
alrighty well next time Ill see him Ill certainly conferm what he mentioned last time we were talking. Maybe its mid 600's crank 500's rear wheels. But I could've sworn It was mid 600's at the rear's.
But we could both shoot back endless numbers and facts and this and that all day. We know what we know and Im not about to think a teskid is better for extreme boost and your not gonna buy that an 03-04 is best soooo i could share this link and that and continue on my quest to make just a simple point and opinion but to what end? Like i said we know what we know and will think what we think regardless.
Sorry 99ElecGreenGT for hijacking the thread with info and opinion overload!
no worries guys, i kinda got a kick out of it. But thanks for all your input everyone, much appreciated and it helped alot. As of now, come spring i will be buying a teksid DOHC motor from a cobra or a mach, and putting it in my car. then procharging or vorteching it later on.
I'm Totally not trying to start some Big argument, just stating things I know about these motors and clarifying points that didn't sound right to me.. Hey if this guys Mach1 really puts down 600RW with an Eaton TONS of guys wanna hear about it..Good luck on your motor quest and it's pretty hard for me to keep from Smiling I got my polished Vortech in the mail this week!
I understand that. Ill talk to this guy when I see him and get all his info for sure. So Ill keep you guys posted when I do with another thread or something
Good luck w/ the chase for power & fun everyone!

The Mach 1's heads are gonna have better cooling passages and the Cams are gonna create more torque than the 99-01 Cobras, not a Huge amount though maybe 15 ft lbs peak!
SO oneFAST the only thing you learned in the hour talk was a pulley had to be modified?? haha!
I want dyno graphs from this guy!!

haha no and that he extended the wheel base and he was teaching me how to hook up an autometer tach and little stuff here in there. I want to see the graph's too! Maybe he has a video too?! That be sick. I do have pictures of it.

Yeah that guy needs to remove that wing, front clip and side exhaust and I've never seen a shaker hood retained with an Eaton conversion? why the hell would he want to insulate an already HOT running blower? That makes NO sense?
I see he's running a Billetflow upper pulley but if that car is making 600 RW SAE corrected I'll give him my car!! It's NOT gonna happen!
yea the looks arent for me either but its not bad and its not what this car is about and he kept the scoop because its a mach and he didnt want to loose the whole point in having one is what he said.

brutal has a good point tho... the eaton is a very hot running blower.... i get why he wants to keep the shaker... but if he is looking to make power with that eaton..... kinda stupid.
