4v swap IMO. That's what I would do in that situation.

LOL!I sense sarcasm.
Look at his signature,theres your proof.

LoL I know,he can't prove that 2v suck

Don't know what you guys are talking about. The 2v in my sig still has cats, stock intake manifold, and the blower has a CARB EO number on it. Can't make any power with that stuff.

4V swap will cost a little bit more..Will you be getting a blower?
 

---

Posted by 4.6WPRStang (Member # 8685) on :
 
maybe later on ill be gettin a blower
 

---

Posted by 4.6WPRStang (Member # 8685) on :
 
Im more focus on just gettin the swap done but want to switch out my stock k member so when i do the swap im just gonna get a whole kit from like UPR or QA1 something like that when i get ready to do everything

Posted by 50DADDY (Member # 3076) on :
 
Actually im gonna do a 4V swap myself,there is an arguable potential for making better or easier power with a 4V.And besides they look sooooo much sicker than a 2V when you pop the hood.

4v swap

Getting the parts for a 2v swap are pretty cheap.. but the damn labor is going to kill you.. unless you do it yourself.. do yourself a favor and build that motor for boost.. since once you run it N/A you will yearn for that boost.. and who wants to pull a motor twice.. You wont regret it

It depends on what you plan on doing. 2v do not suck if you upgrade the heads and cams throw a blower on there. I seen a 2v GT stage 2 heads and cams making 525rwhp on 14.5lbs of boost. If your going to do a 4v swap and stay N/A then I just say go with a 2v with a blower instead. If you'll eventually get a blower or any type of boost the go 4v. 2v can make good power. 4v just make more. I'm sticking with my little 2v. Also 4v sound the best...
Edit: also if you want to make good power on a 2v or 4v. yes you'd need a built bottom end. I'm building one in the process rite now can't wait...

I think the best thing that 2vs have right now,is the trick flow heads,those things outflow 4vs all day,and incase that wasn't enough,mmr offers them ported.

This is a fact.

I agree, if you plan to stay NA get a 4v. When I hopped into a 4v it was night and day from any NA 2v that I've driven.

But..if you do plan for boost, then save some money from sticking to the 2v and build that motor right and get a blower.

I've never researched this, but what would the price difference be between the 2 options:

1. built 2v w/ blower
2. 4v swap

I dunno, but I made about $2000 doing my 4v swap by parting out the donor car

MMR = Junk

If you wanted to get a set of CNC ported 2v Trickflow heads the best place to get them from is Livernois. At that point you are talking a lot of coin either way.

well before i jump to conclusions ill let dave clarify if that was a stab at me or if he is being serious..looks kinda like a stab and we all know 2 can play that game

but for the OP, only thing i can say is REAL men have 4 valves per cylinder
either way you will NEED a build shortblock to make good power!
