Future Plans

I bought a pullout 4.6 3v from a 06 donor for $750 complete with trans and engine harness, computer, throttle pedal etc. Sold the trans for $500 so I have this engine sitting here with $250 invested into it. 3v's get some hate but it's cheap and reliable power compared to the 2.3L that makes 64hp on a good day. I plan on backing it with a Tremec TKX 5spd and swapping in a 8.8 rear-end alongside some other goodies from a donor car to get a 5 lug setup going. Mild-ish upgrades that'll be needed to make the 3v work in that chassis should bump power a little and maybe after the bugs are worked out some sort of boost may be in order.
