Ok, lets start with opinions and get a direction going with my car.
A little background, It’s a 2 valve car that I have had since 2005. It has been set up with an AED kit, Torktech MP112 kit and most recently a Torktech tuner Kit with a VMP 2.3 TVS pushing 21+ PSII on E85. The engine is an iron block 4.6 ; stock bore and stroke with forged internals and trick flow heads blah blah. Built 4r70, circle D converter.
The last time I started the car I was having overheating issues that I’m attributing to head gaskets.
So, since we are at this point what do you guys vote for a path forward?

- Drop the K member and go thru this engine, put it back in and run it.
- Build out a ford racing 5.0 Block and stroke it keeping the set up that’s on it.
- Do a 2018+ coyote swap, possibly with an A10 if it fits in the trans tunnel (haven’t researched that at all)
- 2.3 Ecoboost build cranking the boost until it lifts heads over and over again because it would be easy as fuck to pull.
