Hello all:
I'm new to the FX community (just got a 45 2 days ago) and am in search for information about my car.
Is the physical dimensions of the 4.5L and 5.6L VK engines the same? I would assume that the 5.6L is just a bored and stroked derivative of the 4.5L. Is there a difference of heads used, or is the casting the same?
Since there really isn't much aftermarket support specifically for the 4.5L V8, I'm looking for 'alternatives'. And that leads me to the 5.6L. I know the JBA already makes a set of headers for the Titan/Armada. Since both engines are of the VK design, those headers should work, right? The only problem might be chassis clearance of the headers.
What do you guys think? Maybe this has already been hashed out??
