With his rare sohc mark viii thinking he's the :q:q:q:q.

 

[Scorpio1118_2000]

God I hope he does'nt do it, he's gonna trash that mark.

 

[philly0420]

Can't be any worse than locking up the motor. I'm pretty sure the dude bought it trashed.

the first 16 second mark viii.

 

[LaserSVT]

Gonna sale it?

 

[Calabrio]

But think of how much easier it will be to add speed parts to the engine.
After a thousand bucks, he might be able to get an extra 50hp!!!

Hey mine was doing 16's and then the trans lost the upper gear sprag and I sold it

 

[BlackLS06]

Is the sohc engine that bad??

 

[2002WRXSTi]

Is the sohc engine that bad??

Not on the availability of aftermarket parts and cams even

 

[Calabrio]

Is the sohc engine that bad??

It's just a much less powerful, much less performance oriented, engine.
It's the Ford workhorse.

The Thunderbird was an 8-9sec 0-60 car.
The Mark VIII was a 6-7sec 0-60 car.

It's the difference between 205hp and 16v
or 270hp and 32v.

I see.

The 05-10 mustangs are sohc but theyre 3 valve versus the old 2 valve.

[Stangman]

looks like an LS1...........which wouldnt be that bad..........



worst is the guy with the Supra engine, i think i saw it over at sccoa a while back.............

 

[BIG ROLLER]

I would understand if he were to put the 2v in he was going to keep and drive it than find another 4v to put back in but not to just do it and sell it.

And the poor sucker who buys it will join here

Hopefully the guy knows what's best.Find another 4v.

The 2v isn't bad at all just a 4v in a Mark VIII is home.

Both swaps wouldn't be bad as both can make some really good power but I am one who likes brand for brand.

Gonna sale it?

[fastmark1993]
