I think this is awesome and about damn time. i like how the first thing everyone says is too bad its a mod motor. I think the mod motor and it's power potential is awesome. You'd have to build a pushrod 5.0 with a very decent h/c/i to make the same power that quad cam 5.0 does, and that thing is 10x smoother with better fuel economy; not to mention bone stock. That thing should dominate the competition regardless of the lower HP on paper, and just in case there's always the 540hp GT500.

 

I just hope that the suspension handles great as well. This one needs to dominate the competition in ALL The categories!

 

ugh, they stole our badges!
(newly released photos by ford if you havn't seen 'em)






Don't like that they are using the same damn look of our badges.

 

looks like something is missing...like an extra 3 liters

 

still not a true 5.0

 

I think the badges look good personally. I just wish ford would have gone with more cubes. They had the 4.6's when chev had the 5.7's no that they have gone to 6.0+ we only get a 5L..
I also wonder how much more power NA they're gonna get out of those engines without major work, I doubt it will respond to mods as well as the chev/dodge motors.

 

what is it a 4.95 L?

personally I love it, im sure it responds to mods well, a tune, slicks and nitrous and let'er rip

 

technically the pushrod 5.0 isn't a true 5.0 lol

 

Mine is
306 Baby!!

 

yea i agree they need a new look for the badges. and those rims gotta go.

some multi-port nitrous injection (one in each intake runner) and it will be good to go!

just like this sho motor
