I have been absorbing information on 4.6 4V engines at a rate that would make Johnny 5 jealous. In conversation with friends and different vendors, I have come up with a simple plan of action. I’m going to upgrade the oil pump, the oil pan and install a rear cylinder head cooling crossover mod. All of those are geared towards endurance and prolonging engine life. In addition, a set of long tube headers and an oil filter relocation kit will round out the first wave of modifications before installing the engine.
Vendors used:
Boundary Pump Division: 3V/GT500 oil pump with billet gears
BBK: Long tube headers
Wonder Racing, LLC: cylinder head cooling mod
Maximum Motorsports: oil filter relocation kit
