The 5.4 is based off the 4.6.
It's like the 302 and the 351, pretty much the samething.
1991 was the first 4.6 mod motor(sohc) then in 1993 came the dohc 4.6 mod motor, then in 1999(i believe it's 99) came the 5.4(based off the 4.6)(ford lighting 5.4 sohc) then in 2000 we had the cobra R(5.4 dohc, first dohc 5.4).
Then from there came the 5.0 cammer(based off the 4.6).
You see the point, pretty much all mod motors are based from the 4.6(more ci/displacement, higher deck height).
Now it's very early here so if i stated anything incorrect please correct me.
Hope this helps.

Where's your head? You are totally ignorant of the last 40 years.
Shelby had zero to do with SVT or the new Ford GT. And practically zero with the Shelby GT500 - he showed up at the end of the process. Same for the Cobra and GR-1 showcars.
Look at the history of Shelby... a couple of good years of work with Cobras, Mustangs, GT40s, et al. But then the loss of all the unique Mustang suspension mods in '68, and the delivery of a horribly-selling '69 luxo-barge with zero unique performance capabilities. Selling so bad that the unsold models were re-labeled '70s and sold cheap.
And don't forget the absurdly godawful FWD Chryslers with his name and stripes.
Where would we be without him? We'd be missing some history... but there would be zero impact on the last 30 years.
And, BTW, being a "Ford person" doesn't mean that this is like gang life where we don't question the head noncho. It is indeed a free country, and an open website.
I've heard 8000 cars at just under $40k. anyone else heard this?

I thought this 5.4L was based off the Triton V8 found in the F-Series and the GT...? All the same 5.4L for the most part, with different head combinations and other variations??
And as for Shelby being involved and having less performance...Ford can pretty do what they want with the performance of the Mustang, as far as a few HP here and a few lb-ft of TQ there. As you know, the Mustang has no direct marketing rival. They can boost performance and try and run with Corvettes (which it will the base model), but why when it doesn't threaten sales? The Corvette and the Viper are in a different league from the Mustang, as far as domestics go. And for imports...the Cobra completely and utterly dominates, with few exceptions in it's market. :rockon: Let me know what you guys think...I'm just stating that Ford can leave a lot of room for improvement because of the lack of rivaling market. :shrug:

Depends on who you listen to. Ford guys say he was much more involved in the Cobra than anything else. Came up with the rear end that was used in the project. The other projects, he "consulted" on by participating in many managment review meetings.
"Where would we be without him? We'd be missing some history... but there would be zero impact on the last 30 years."
I wouldn't call the Viper and the Series 1 zero impact cars. Also in a sanctioned test a Dodge GLH ran against an original 1965 GT350 and soundly whipped it on the track. Those Chrysler cars were not anything to look at, but they could perform.
Some of you guys take yourself way too seriously. Who gives a rat's ass if Shelby designed and built it? Now days for Ford it's about marketing the retro names and styling. The Bullitt and Mach 1 proved to be outstanding marketing devices. So you intorduce a Mustang reminiscent of the '65/'66 fastbacks and the next logical step would be to build it up and slap the Shelby GT500 label on it and sell a bunch of them. Probably would do better than something called the Thai-Tang Stang.

I have heard this several times, but I honestly don't see the car stickering any cheaper than low-40s... before all of the mark ups!
:lol: Are you 12? If you think that what the speedo goes up to is how fast the car is then you are retarded. :bash:fordification said:So, 160mph top speed? Isn't the gto running that?

Where did you learn to write?
Why does it matter where i learned to write atleast i wrote it i never said i could write did i? And i bet you and everyone else didnt know this that on the production GT500 the ones with stripes arnt going to have shelby on the back only the non striped ones will have it. I saw that in a magazine i have right here in front of me dont believe me go to the news stand and get one it says on the top mph in bright yellow letters. And if someone would tell me how to post the magazine article i could put it on here.
*Edited* Nevermind.

And what prompted that little tantrum? You come in here spamming the boards with the same message that nobody cares about, post illegible blocks of drivel, and then start randomly insulting people? Please, get a life.
