[QUOTE="NametoShowOther, post: 13609160, member: 138701"] Changing the crank design and the cams to match in an existing block is not expensive for ford. Getting it to rev to 8000 is not that hard for low volume engine, they are already at 7500 rpm. The real issue is getting vibration under control, Ferrari, I believe hAs a balance shaft to do this. The next issue is the emissions and all the engine controls to make it work as well as being able to predict reliability. But on the plus side the 5.8l shows amazing technology in an engine that only sold 10000 units over two years and is being (likely) retired. So very feasible to do and the only way to beat displacement is with rpm's, so since mustang is limited on engine size, if they want to compete without FI, they need rpm's [/QUOTE]
