Alright I know that most 4.6 Cobra parts don't fit like intakes and headers, but that about internal stuff like cams and pistons? I have a Ford Racing book filled with parts and not one is about the Marauder, but there are a lotta 4.6 parts like heads and what not. So will any of that stuff fit? Especially the 6 speed manual tranny.

Internals will fit.

Manual tranny is a lot of work and not reliable.

Yep....sandwich a clutch between 450RWHP and a 4500 LB Marauder and bad things happen.

Yeah you'd need a lot more heavy duty tranny than one built for a 3000lb car. You know what you should do is get a tranny for an austin martin ;)... I kid I kid

A few aftermarket camshaft vendors offer aftermarket camshafts for the 4V heads, however since you have 4 camshafts (quad-cam power!!!) the price is rather high at around $1200 for the set. When selecting a cam, make sure you find one that suits your operating RPM range. Don't get the most aggressive cam that gives you peak power at several hundred RPMs over your revlimiter!
