V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="Bill Barber, post: 816648, member: 57910"] Eddie R&D phase? the 4.6 mod engine has been used since 1991 (17 yrs) Granted pushrod engines served us well back in the day, but they are dinosaurs No more bent Rods, no tappit noise, far more moving parts, far more friction and parisitic drag. In OEM form Mod engines make far more H.P with alot less displacment, get far better gas miliage and last far longer, no distributors no plug wires, is just a better engine period. maybe ford should go back to the engines I cut my teeth on:) gotta love those old flatheads:lol: [/QUOTE]
