$10,000

Well i am about to sell my torino cause it's one problem after another and two hot rods is too much. Plus it needs more TLC then i know how to give. I don't know how much I'll get out of it, but with what I do plus saving for six mo. should = $10,000. What's a good way to spend it?? This is what i already have. cai,70mm tb, trickflow plenum, steeda underdrive pullys, bbk shorty headers, x pipe(not off road), flow master stop at rear axle and the rest is stock. b&m short throw shifter. was thinking of stroking it w/ turbo and the rest suspension. would like 450hp. Thanks

Re: $10,000

Suspension work is always good. I'd do a 5.4 swap w/ either the 2V, 3V, or 4V heads, depending what cash permits. However, there's always styling like strips, scoops, etc. However, a stroked 4.6 turbo is probably awesome and I'd swap for 3V heads if you go this route.

5.4 have they made the plates to put the intake on the correct side. also will the headers from the 4.6 fit?

Re: $10,000

Adaptor plates have been out and a company is about to come out w/ an intake. As for long tubes, those are being worked on but the 4.6 headers will fit, but need to be modified. If your interested, there's no better place for info on the swap than here:

I understand that it's very long but any questions that you have (including costs) are in there, some where.
