thats the heads for you...

a fully ported set of PI, hell, even a fully ported set of TF 4.6 heads, STILL flow worse than TF TW heads for a 302...

great "efficient" design ford... shouldve stuck with pushrod motors and beat the GM guys at their own game...

^^Another reason we hate the mod motor.....

Thats awesome! nice lookin car.

I'm hoping to make my car in a magazine by the time i turn 25... 6 years from now.

That spoiler is super gay, tell him I said congrats, but for all that money spent on making that thing go fast I'd get a Termi....

the new 5.0 4v is more efficient then most n/a builds be it pushrod or modular. They claim its as efficient as some of the best N/A motors that are built.

i was just reading up on it:
its 110% VE at peak torque and pretty much 100%VE the rest of the time.

the power comes from the cam timing ability, the LSA can go from like 80* all the way to 160*...

the engine looks like its gonna be an animal, but im curious to see what it sounds like because of the new firing order...

its the same as the old Y-block Ford made back in the day. we had one in my families '57 Mercury Monterey and it sounded a little blatty, kinda 350/LT1-ish...

Yeah i can only imagine that thing with boost

5psi is gonna make some SERIOUS power on these motors...

makes me ALMOST want to give up the 302 and go with the Coyote V8...

but...

then again, i like the "old school" ness of our motors, the fact that even though its an archaic design, it still makes great power, is VERY cheap to work on, sounds great (i guess the 351W, 5.0, 4.6 firing order and music is going the way of the do-do bird... ), and, lastly, has ONE camshaft with the associated degree-ing BS with it (my friends 98GT was a PITA, i can only imagine a 32V...).

so...
i love pushrods

That's one thing I really not looking forward to when I do my 4v swap on my coupe. Not really sure where to start on degreeing the 4 cams.
