A modern and very durable version of the V6 you are looking at is in the
1990-2001 Rangers/Explorers. High strength/hot rod parts are available
here: http://www.moranav6racing.com/ You could not quite go to the 4.5
stroker (274 CID), but 4.0 is nicely under the 260 CID limit. As they
are truck engines they were built to be darn durable - and I believe
forged everything is readily available. With 4.0 liters, and <2 bar of
manifold pressure you should have plenty of oomph for 160 MPH. Hell my 2
liter Opel GT did 130 with no mods at all :-)
These engines are already injected/and I believe fully distributorless -
so all crank/cam sensors etc should be there. That leaves just custom
tuning for the efi/ignition maps on a 'stock' computer...
Hope this helps a bit...
