01bansheeke Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 not just vettes...cadillac cts-v's..camaro have the LS1 motors. Basically the same motor from the vettes to the camaros. Cam, intake and heads makes an ls6..which jumps from like 325 horse up to 450. IMO the LS1 is a very impressive motor, but it has nothing to do with what he asked. The 4.6 is a turd imo. take it or leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Ford needs to bring back the 5.0 and put it in a small car. A car the size of a focus with a 302 in it would kick ass. "Kugel Components" (the hot rod company) actually builds a conversion kit of sorts that allows you to do this very swap. Turns the focus ZX3 into a small block RWD sleeper, I've driven one (we build springs for them)....a hand full but very fun! Had 2 working versions at SEMA last year.

roosthrower Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 450 hp TUNED is still not impressive to me. a ls6 zo6 pushes more than that with an aftermarket exhaust. No need to get in a dick swingin contest about this. We could go on all day. I'm just saying, they are by no means a ballsy motor(4.6) lingenfelter builds some crazy shit(used to, i believe he passed away). 900hp plus twin turbo vettes, insane Gimme a blower like the whats on the cobra on a ls1 camaro, and i'm pushing 500hp+ easy. Impressive to me. And chances are, i'm still cheaper. gt40 biatch. I believe the 5.4 it uses is good for over 500hp. not really in the same class as the corvette but hey the 4.6 ford really isn't in the same class as a corvette either. comparing a 4.6 to a 5.7 is kinda stupid. you know what? screw all of these v8's. I want a viper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joehead24 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 i hear ya 347cid vettes are for old people and kids that dont pay for them. you want a real muscle car buy a mustang for way less and you'll be so F*&^ing happy you dont have 600 dollar a month payment. besides when was the last time you heard of anyone getting some in a vette, you dont no back seat. so if you want to buy a half a car that is designed to be 1. expesive 2. trendy 3. make you look like an old prick get a vette. but for my money ill keep my mustang and buy more of them until the day i die. also the 4.6 is a great motor i have a buddy with a 96 GT that he bought as a theft recovory and we installed a used drivetrain in it the only weak link in that car is the pos stock trans. other than that he drives 320 miles a week back and fourth to school and it gets him about 28-32mpg. i didnt believe him at first either but i did the math and checked it twice. ps you'll love the crown vic my dad has a 92 with every option except for the police interceptor with 148,000 miles and its running strong and quick for a heavy a## car.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 my 2 door monte The crown vic will be so much nicer than a monte, I hate them with a passion my sister has had two of the new SS's and they aren't much faster than my ranger, and the steering sucks IMHO. The crown vic will feel like it floats and since it's a cop car they are very fast. Not supercar fast but they will hold their own even with the 4.6.

01bansheeke Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 (edited) i'm not really all about vettes. I personally wouldn't want one. I was talking about the power plant. Its not just in vettes. I was referring to the ls1/ls2/ls6 motors. All pretty much the same. Someone said the 4.6 had some balls. I don't think it does, thats my opinion. The gt-40's are bad ass. Gm needs to step up with something like that, but you'll probably never see it. anything that ways next to nothing, handles like a dream, and has 500hp..is impressive to me. But, That is a far cry from the 4.6 in the crown vic. I guarantee you the gt-40 has some SERIOUS tuning to get 500 hp. everyone has there own opinion about whats fast and what isn't. A ricer with a 4cyl..say 160 hp...whatever they get out of those f'in things, thinks he's fast. John force probably thinks a 9 sec car is a turd.

nickxc Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 How will the crown vic with the 4.6 compare to a 5.0, 305 chevy motor found in some late 80's - late 90's camaros and caprice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01bansheeke Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 i'm not even going to start in on the 305's. Those motors aren't the best either. Technology wise, the 4.6 is a better motor. And probably has more power potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV00GT Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have a 4.6 2v SOHC that makes over 500 rwhp so how can that be a terd. Obviously some people don't know what there talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigairee Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have a 4.6 2v SOHC that makes over 500 rwhp so how can that be a terd. Obviously some people don't know what there talking about. And I bet you have less money in it that a vette would have cost. Really though I think the ls1 is a good powerful engine but I don't think it is very dependable once modified. Maybe the one that turned me off the guy was just an idiot, I dont know. Watching one freshly rebuilt pull about 450 on the dyno was cool but the second pull blew it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV00GT Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Yeah I still have a bit more to spend to get up to the cost of a vette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
