    Why no aftermarket support

    Curious why no 4.6 4V blower intake support,I would have thought they would have been making some by now with what everyone saying they are getting hard to find ..

    Simple, 17 year old technology... the world does not care about yesterday's engines... Used to be the factory had to make parts for 10 years after production, lucky to see 5 now.

    Not too step on your toes Chris, but a Chevy 350 small block is 70 year old tech and there is a huge aftermarket. More likely is limited demand so a business case is hard to justify.

    Because the Coyote is such a better platform, everybody is moving on to that.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    I think the main thing is that only 11,000 some Marauder's were sold and it's not worth the R&D to develop something for such a small number of vehicles.

    guys, while I agree that panther owners are cheap asses these days, the 4v mod motor was used in other ford vehicles aside from ours


    Still isn't enough market demand for an aftermarket lower which also needs the intercooler. If you bought an all in one kenne bell kit, it includes all that stuff.

    The coyote is glorious. Way better than the 4.6 IMO.

    But yes, there will be even less options the older it gets, for example VMP not making as many kits for the terminator as well.

    But it was for a good reason, look at the truck you have now

    Sadly our 4.6 double overhead cam has all but been forgotten about since the introduction of the Coyote 5.0. and as stated earlier in this thread even the Terminators parts are becoming less frequently made and available the aftermarket anyway. so many people have moved on to the 5.0. I see this old 4.6 4 valve engine becoming very rare and hard to find parts for. the hell they already are. But none the least I guess they were a cool motor for their time. I have one now so I can't say much. Lol
