Impressive...Nicely built for an "out of the box" motor. N/A, and supercharging is out of the question. Octane may be a problem too, with that 11:1 compression, but hey, with that much bolt in HP and TQ, who cares?

No price stated, but I would expect cost to be in the neighborhood of adding S/C to our MMs anyway, so, let's see where this "crate" option is, once we see where our MM S/C options come in, take another peek at this in...June? Maybe, August '03?

Thanks for the 411, Badger, it's good to see developers are still thinking "outside the box," but in a crate too.

11:1 should be able to run on pump 93, especially with a reputable octane booster on top of that. Otherwise, nice motor!

that's the new engine from Ford Racing It is a mod motor, even though they are redundantly calling it "cammer"
Some people think it's an old windsor 5.0 with special ohc heads etc.

Ford has done this right, as i understand it will be available with a selection of wire harnesses and accessories to facilitate installing it in all sorts of vehicles. They are after the Rod and Custom, Hot rod and Street Rod markets as well
