A few thoughts come to mind.
1. Why such low HP figures.

2. Why not the 351 .

3. How the hell can you get 500hp out of a 302, the block will split, unless totally redesigned.

4. there is no way, id pay that much for 500 hp, id just build my own dam motor.

5. is this pushrod or OHC crap?[>:]

6.A carb is on top , not my favorite.

I can answer #3,and 5 for you. #3 is that ford knows what the 302stock block can handle and theyve released what it can handle, but im not gonna write it cuz youll laugh your *** off and cuz i done even believe it. if you build the motor right tho with the stock block you can get way more hp than a lot of ppl on here think. as for # 5 that is deff a pushrod. ooh yeah a carb on top isnt my fav too. alright i finally said that the stock block can handle more than some of you think but i had to get it off my chest cuz ive seen so many poosts about ruined motors, flame away.

I have seen people hit close to 600rwhp on stockers.... good luck making it last though. I did not read the article but Im pretty sure its not what your thinking of.. I dont think they are "stock 5.0 blocks" ... any comments?

naw i didnt read this from an article, my dad told me. he's worked for ford for over 30 years and he always gets newsletters and programs from ford. i know that i post about him a lot but he really knows what he is talkin about. hes told me that ford can make stock 302 blocks pack some real big hp.

i realize there isnt much credibility in this but imo you can believe me or you dont believe me.

I thought that.... I didnt read the article though. It just seemed kind of obvious.

I think this is the block they are using:

You can see the engines they are going to release in early 2007.
