Reply to "4.6 advantages or disadvantages?"

I have yet to hear a mod engine that makes a good sound. I have listened to a Koenigsegg CCR with it's mod engine putting out apparently 800hp on an airfield drag strip, that didn't sound good, just kind of hollow like a V8 Esprit. I know turbos stifle the sound somewhat.

Every time I have seen the Gorgeous new Ford GT I have felt disappointed by the sound. I have also heard one with a modified exhaust, this was rather forgettable also.

For me the Pantera is all about looks, power and sound. I would never even consider a mod engine. I am still firmly in the push rod camp. I just love that sound.

And what about weight saving? is there a weight saving to be had over a Cleveland by going to a 4.6 (iron block?) or a 5.4 ally block?
