Requirements for boost on a 4.6 2V

It would with a 98 front timing cover.

That would work. I actually switch to a 98 cover on my 04 as the tensioner is stronger then what my 04 ....

You still have the 04 cover?

Stock cams will work fine with FI and of course centrifugal specific cams will make more power like all modifications. Cams springs gaskets etc parts will be $1500 more to cost or just install blower and can run 10 psi and make 400 rwhp which is 180 rwhp more then you making now and with 373 gears it will feel like a beast . I would have went with a large stroker motor but wanted keep my airconditioner...

My main concern is reliability/longevity. Can the cast pistons/rods/crank handle boost? From what I've read, yes, but not for long lol.

I just don't want to go to all the work of putting F/I on this thing to have to pull it again due to the heads lifting, bent rod, ect.

If I can reliably make 400rwhp with no worries of the motor yeeting itself - sign me up.

Actually I do and have no use for it....but I live in portelgin. Its clean and looks like new. But I'm not into shipping thing...

I know of a procharger for sale....

Oh well god damn it now I AM gonna procharge it! Lol. I'll DM you Zippy

You will really notice a 70 percent increase in RWHP...then following year install 373 gears and it will again be like a different ride again..
Be careful boost is addictive...

Correctly tuned with reliable supporting mods, will handle 400 rwhp all day long and come back for more tomorrow.
Agree with doing gears at the same time.
Now down to, you looking for torque or max h/p?
Centri vs PD blower is an entirely different experience.

The car will definitely be getting 373's, if not 410's, while the rear end is out for a cleanup. I don't fear the gear! lol

Like I had previously mentioned, the numbers don't really matter to me as much as the overall drive dynamic/experience. Not looking to hit a specific "bragging rights" number. I am looking to make this a fun car to drive, that I'm not going to get bored of within a year of putting the motor back in.

The stock 2V made all the good noises, but really lacked in throwing me back in my seat. I'd like to improve that.

So, slap a blower on there with supporting mods n be happiest guy on the block.
Centri blower, 4:10 /// PD blower 3:73
