[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 13717970, member: 51847"] Okay. They also had bores well over 4" and not ones at 3.552", and 3.680". They also are know to be inferior performance and RPM motors than the BBC's of the day. They were just large/torquey motors. Lets look at the stroke that some of the popular performance BB's of the day had. -Ford 427 FE - 3.784". -Ford 428 FE - 3.980".(inferior performance motor to the 427, and more of a stump puller) -Ford 429 385 motor - 3.590". -Ford 460 385 motor - 3.850". -Chevy 454 - 4.0". -Chevy 396/427 - 3.760". -Hemi 426 - 3.750". -Chrysler 440 - 3.750". Don't get me wrong a 5.4/5.8 can be build to make huge power. I'm not denying that. I would love to go built with my 5.4. They make very broad power in general, but they are not the best application for the Mustang. A boost 4.6 has the potential to make all the power you'll ever me in a Mustang, and a new 5.0 is noticeably better than a old 4.6. You should now that the new 5.0 is a great little motor, and it weighs less, is shorter and more compact, handles high RPM's, etc much better than a 5.4 based motor will. You just adding weight and complexity trying to fit a 5.4/5.8 in the front of the car. A factory built/boosted 5.0 has huge potential for the new Mustang. [/QUOTE]
