4v rebuild

Elder · January 27th, 2008, 09:49 PM

Im heavily debating doing a complete motor rebuild. mine runs great but it had 133k on the clock and im not comfortable doing any more than bolt with this motor. therefore i have a 2k budget. what would you do? prefer. going N/A

With a 2k budget...

Did you look for just forged rods and pistions? I think those would be less than 2k, and maybe leave enough for new gaskets...

But if you are going to have a shop do it, then most of your budget will be eaten up by just labor fees.

no shop fees.

Diamond pistions and Manley rods. Not sure who makes the crank, KP or XP or something like that...

Modular Mustang Racing

Heard only good stuff about them so far. That's who I'm going to order my parts from...

Elder · January 27th, 2008, 10:26 PM

a guy i order some parts through has a buy in with diamond so i can get a good deal on those. are the rods pretty pricey?

4340 Forged H-beam rod for 4.6, good up to 800 HP Factory 5.933 Length, works with all cranks and blocks, no machining needed, includes ARP rod Bolts, weight matched set!
400230SALE! $379.99

Not too bad... They've got all this stuff listed induvidually on their site. Also got prices on gaskets, rings, bearings and just about anything else you could need...

Elder · January 27th, 2008, 10:34 PM

that looks like a smoking deal. how do i find the indiviual stuff for a 4v on that site

Click on products, and then on modular engine components. The rods and pistons won't vary from whatever head you are using. Just so long as you get things for a 4.6, 4.6 stroker, or 5.4... Whichever you are building.
