I am looking to build a motor for my 85 Crown Vic. I wonder what would be the best motor to use 5.0, 5.8 push rod, 4.6 SOHC, 4.6 DOHC, or 5.0 Coyote.
The push rod engines would be cheaper to build. the Modulars would have the wow factor. Any more the Coyote is the swap motor of choice for the true blue oval peeps with a lot of $$$$$.
I am looking at a high horsepower streetable motor, something that I can jump in and drive cross country if I wanted to. Probably will have to go forced induction to make any power living in high elevation where I do. Thankfully I now work at an auto parts and get a decent discount on parts. but budget is still in play. Thinking of what I could find in a junk yard. Or should I go cubic inches and build a Big block Ford.
