    Possibly getting a Ford Maradstang have questions

    I have been looking at a 02 stang with that impressive, never knew engine of a Marader that’s in that mustang. Would it be wise to buy that mustang with that big beefy motor in it?

    Not sure what your Mustang has under the hood...

    '02 Mustang has a 2V SOHC with a cast iron block.
    Marauder has a 4V DOHC, all aluminum.
    Both are physically very large, especially the DOHC...but are only 4.6L/281 cid.

    IMHO both need a blower to really run....especially the 2V SOHC.
    Unfortunately for Mod motor fans, LS motors start at 4.8L and get MUCH bigger from there.
