I'm going to get started on my car in the next year and it's not going to be a stock restoration. I have been thinking a 331 stroker and some type of injection with a 5speed behind it. I also think I

IF you are going to cut up your Tiger why not just build an Alger? You will devalue the Tiger (IMO) and you can slowly replace the Tiger parts used on the Alger and still have a Tiger to build as a

I'm running the Retrotekspeed throttle body injection, and it's working pretty well now. Their third-generation product is now being marketed by Professional Products as an injection-only solution, a

I'm with Tony on the Alger thing, definitely if you're considering an engine or induction swap that is non-SBF or would require major firewall or frame rail surgery. And like him, I have a SV shell w

While I am no expert, someone once told me that while the 4.6l modular's have similar displacement as a ford small block, they are significantly bigger in just about every direction, and that is prob

I agree whole heartedly with Tony. Please do not modify your Tiger like you mention. Although it may be a nice setup, it would greatly devalue the car and there are only so many Tigers left. The fac

There was a guy in the Oxnard, CA. area named Dave who put the 5.0 with factory injection into an Alpine. It was a clean build, but he basically had little metal in the center of the firewall above

As with everyone else i would keep body mods to a minimum. If you want better weight savings why not go for an alloy block stroker? Same dimensions as a stock windsor, but stronnger and lighter. The

Steve is corret, the 4.6 is HUGE and unless your gutting the front chassis it will not be an easy swap. The Mod motors IMO are not as good performing as a straight up SBF. A 331+ is a good thing and

The reality is for $7k I'm not going to go the route of the mod motor both because of the cost and the cutting required. Thanks for all the info. Gary specifically I would appreciating getting your $

If any of you ever saw Barretts car you would not be impressed. It looks like he cut the entire firewall all the way back to the rear of the hood and used 1x1 box metal to the end of the frame horns
