Extreme? Yes!
Six litre capacity (366 cu inches) and develops 540 bhp. It's based on one of the rare aluminium Cleveland blocks into which was fitted a custom built Moldex crankshaft, Carillo conrods and Brooks forged pistons.

Mustang II, Unloved, yet scary when you shoehorn a big block into it or a 351......

Agree. A prime candidate for mod. I've thought a 4.6 would be a great fit for the little sucker. Not too much, but plenty.

How does Christchurch (a city with a population of just 300K) produce so much awesome stuff?!

4.6L SOHC or DOHC?

Hadn't thought about it that much actually. SOHC would be my first guess. Would there be fitment issues?

Honestly I wouldn't know.....and the DOHC would be a hell of a lot meaner in that car.

From what I've heard, the four-valve heads don't flow appreciably more air than the three-valve ones used in the '05-'10 Mustang GTs did, and I know there's a lot more of the 24-valve motors around than DOHC ones. From a pure performance standpoint, I don't think you really *need* the four-valves until you're pushing a pretty serious amount of horsepower. Still, I suppose, if you're inviting madness, why not go for every little bit? Certainly doesn't hurt.
On a different note, I'm almost positive I saw a story on some website or another where a fellow did just that, took a 4.6 mod motor (of some variety) and somehow squeezed it into the engine bay of a bright yellow Mustang II. As I recall, the engine's width was the big killer, and necessitated a complete redoing of the front suspension and engine bay; despite their displacement, the modular engines take up quite a bit of space!
