FYI 5.0 is a lie, it's really a 4.9L in stock trim. Check out the older V8 explorers, window sticker shows a 4.9. Punch it out to 306 cid and it's a true 5.0 (bored .030" over).

very true, but ford exec's found that 5.0 sounds alot more intimidating than 4.9

the 300 I-6 was called a 4.9 by some people

and to the guy who started this...a quick calculation is that there are (on average) 61 cubic inches per liter, you can also figure out the liters from the cubic inches...just divide

302 divided by 5.0 is 60.4

300 divided by 4.9 is 61.22

7.0 multiplied by 61 is 427 (in LeMans, the GT-40 could not be named by the actual cubic inches because of all the metric bull**** in europe so it was designated "7 Liter"...just a little "i bet u didnt know")

5.8 multiplied by 61 is 353 (in Ford terms--5.8 = 351--another bit of "i bet u didnt know", Ford named the 351 "5.8 L" when they swithced to fuel injection to make it sound more menacing and more powerful than chevy's 5.7 aka the 350)

hopefully you get it by now

Actually it's a 4.95 liter, omg .05 of a liter lol. They rounded it up so we just call it a 5.0, it wouldn't sound right if you were like,"I own a 4.95 liter".

That would be an interesting thing to hear someone say lol

HACKGT350

you sure its a 4.9? i know ford makes a 4.9 inline 6 for the f150 and bronco or they did anyway

yeah, thats the I-6 (300 cid)

dont laugh but i'd like to build a 300 or 250 straight-6 with a turbo setup and an aluminum head
