Bench build, new edge roller

Free '02 Mustang GT, minus engine and transmission. Street, drag, road race? What engine? Only stipulation is no LSx

Car is otherwise complete, with only the engine and transmission going into a Factory 5. Slightly mismatched suspension, koni orange, lowering springs, and tubular upper and lower arms in back.

If street, engine needs to play nice with OBD2. If drag, it would be towed to the local 1/8 mile.

How much are those 6.2 liter Ford Boss engines going for these days?

EDIT: after a short google, looks like the 6.2 is different enough from the 4.6, 5.4, and even 5.0 to make it a bit tricky to use, so with that I think I vote 5.4, possibly the 4 valve Lincoln version.

What you do is go to the junkyard and you have two options, grab a Lincoln mk8 engine (4.6 aluminum dohc teksid block) and run that possibly with the cobra intake. Or grab that same motor and take the internals and put them in a 2 valve, it bumps the compression up to like 11.5:1 or something, they call it Frankenstein. I'd skip the 5.4 just due to height and intake manifold berkeleyery. If you need more, put a turbo up front of the dohc, that's what I'd do if it were me.

I am not an expert i this field to tell you something on the topic nor I want to misguide you by telling any stuff. But I can suggest you to go online for your query, you might get the suitable solution.

I forget the lingo, is the above guy a flounder or a canoe? Either way kill him with fire.

I'd put a turbo Duratec 4 cylinder in it for the haters. Like an EcoBoost, but without the DI, VVT or other complexities. 250lb engine with power equivalent to the 500+lbs 4.6L. Cobra IRS for the rear. With the redistributed weight, it would probably be pretty close to 50/50 front/rear out of the box.

Grab a NC Miata transmission and you're good to go.

4g63T...

For your consideration there is a fox body mustang running 8's with a 4g63.

If you can hook up the right sensors to run it with some kind of OEM EFI setup (one that can be tuned, of course), I don't see why not.

if you have to stay obd2, might as well just do a poor mans cobra with a Lincoln 4v motor and different intake. Put some conti heads in it for the "c" port heads... Should be a few harnesses around to make this work for about 2500$.
