Go ahead and laugh... but what's The DIfference Between 4.6L SOHC V8 and 4.6L DOHC V8 engine?

 

[ajm]

2 cams vs 4 cams, 16valves vs 32 valves

 

[Pittbull]

So SOHC is just 2 valves?

 

[mrbigjeep]

yes per cyl

 

[dcook_14]

The DOHC 4 valves breathe a lot better, much more power capabilities than a stock 2v head

 

[Pittbull]

SOHC is 2v and DOHC is 4v, gotcha
thanks guys

well hold on a second... arent the 3v s197's sohc also?

 

[ajm]

Lol i was waiting for somone to get all technical

 

[Blitz34]

Yes they are.

2V/CYL = 16V ( SOHC - single over head cam ) - 4.6 2V V8 - rated 260HP stock
4V/CYL = 32V ( DOHC - dual over head cam ) - 4.6 4V V8 - rated 360HP I believe.

also the 4V has all forged internals so its a better built motor. It can handle more abuse.

only the 03/04 cobra 4v has forged internals. The 4v machs, and other year 4v cobras dont have forged internals.

+1 thanks for that. Got to thinking about that a few mins ago. haha

I guess if I ever got one the only choice would be an 03/04 cobra so i didnt even acknowledge the others. :sorry

 

[BakerFX4]

no prob man... any of those 4v's would be my choice over my 2v. 4v's just have the advantage!

Google Much?

Quit crying Baker, you've got 400+ outta your 2v... That's more than a lot of 03/04 cobras

 

[BakerFX4]

yeah but what if this was a 4v with all my mods? hmmmm.?? the ported heads in the garage will help a lil bit.

 

[Blitz34]

whose on google?

 

[v606er]

Lol i was waiting for somone to get all technical

lol sorry

Yes they are.

2V/CYL = 16V ( SOHC - single over head cam ) - 4.6 2V V8 - rated 260HP stock
3V/CYL = 24V ( SOHC - single over head cam ) - 34.6 3V V8 - rated 300HP stock (315 for the 2010)
4V/CYL = 32V ( DOHC - dual over head cam ) - 4.6 4V V8 - rated 360HP I believe.

also the 4V has all forged internals so its a better built motor. It can handle more abuse.
