You are correct. Sorry its been a hot minute since ive worked on a 20V.

He has already said he's keeping the 20v regardless.

Thought about the Northstar as a powerplant. But I wanted a challenge. I am taking my time with the build and not shortcutting ----. Every aspect is being addressed. Engine,Trans,Axles,etc. will be modified. As with any build, I dont ---- around patching ----. I don't believe in building ---- and seeing what is the next weakest link. The 4A engine design has served the racing community very well so far. The design of the block is good. I will be making billet main caps for it to be crossbolted in and further increase the integrity of the bottom end. I also have some dry sump stuff laying around I may throw at the build (it'll have an external oil pump none the less). Presently looking into Titanium wrist pins and rods. The wife has been on me about her motor, so the 'stang will be first. (I like getting laid and a happy wife is a horney wife) As soon as the 408 is complete and installed, my attention will shift back to the 4AGE. I may run up to 6 PSI on the stock motor for now if I can gather the stuff to adapt my turbo in the near future.

I would do more research about changing out cams for a ST 4age. The VVT won't like the change.

Install some gz pistons and boost the hell out of it. It's got he beefier internals like the gz without the pistons.
