How much does he know about Ford cylinder heads? IE the Trickflow twisted wedge heads. Compare them to the regular 5.0 heads. Since the valves are 'twisted' etc etc. Explain why they're better and all that. Could get you a good grade, but if he asks about that with anyone that knows bout TFS heads... you might be in deep.
