Hello

From the Tampa area of Florida and I picked up a 2003 Mercury Marauder in black about 1.5 years ago and I decided to make an account to search for info on swapping cams. I come from the classic car and lsx world and I always had a things for Marauders since they were new. Although I love my GM stuff I love my Marauder and I also have an 04 Mach 1 that I also love as well. I worked in the transmission world for many years but never learned modular motors and I'm looking forward to diving in on them.

I know a power adder is where the bigger results are at but I think camming a Marauder is just cool

Cool but expensive, I know.. most everyone here will tell you it isn’t worth the small gain from a big wallet. Most anyone that is sane at least.

For the rest of us who don’t care about the power and have a few extra bucks to spend I say go for it. I used Crower stage 2 blower cams and absolutely loved the choppy exhaust. Especially considering my engine mounts were fully welded too.

Definitely not a good bang for the buck, but not exactly braking the bank to get what you want..

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard!

4.10 gears and a good tune first.

Having spent a TON of money modding a 4.6L DOHC including a set of 4 (!) Crower 'Baja Beast' Cams this would be my recommendation based on the $$$ that you have to spend:
1: Forced Induction on a stock 4.6 Modular
2: Coyote swap
3: Godzilla swap
4: LS swap

I would NOT spend a lot of money modding the internals of a Marauder 4.6L Modular.
Too many parts need to be upgraded if you are going to make serious power (500+HP) out of it.

Thank you for the info and welcomes... I love the sound of a cammed engine, not really looking for the performance side of things with bigger numbers but I am open minded to other options... 4.10 gears will def be in the future. JMOD too, found some good info on here about it, it was a common request in some of the shops I worked for back in the day but I never did it myself because I didnt own one.

I'm located in St. Pete, would love to meet up.

Welcome to the forum. I see your profession is transmissions. Have you had the opportunity to view the forum write ups on our 4r75w mods ? I found this to be a big game changer. I am sure you are familiar with the mods.
