Even the m45 generates knock problems on the 2.6 m103 on california pee pee gas... I would stick with an m-45 and keep it reliable unless you are planning on major work like dished pistons, gasket...

On a 300e I'd probably step up to the m62 blower off a ford thunderbird sc/super coupe. if you decide to go with a modest m45, the 98 and up would require some smaller sort of custom pulley as the 98...

Good luck on the project. I found it fairly easy to adapt the m45 to the m103. The factory 2.6L m102 is not a great match for a 3,000+ pound car as far as speed goes. But it's a stout engine and it...
