There is a problem with your write up, specifically the setion entitled "Unique Ford DOHC Characteristics." Those characteristics aren't unique to Ford, but are common to most 4v, 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines, both foreign and domestic.
yet amazingly, the lsx continues to dominate power production over every ford motor every produced.
What heads will fit this block?
What have you done for the Mustang community?
Dying to hear that one.
So far all I've sean is a two valve with a 2.10" intake that flows 300 cfm in stock form. About on par with the Hemi's and LSX's. Doesnt seem to be a lot of faith in a 4 valve version but Ford may surprise us. It would lay the competition to waste.
Is this the 6.2 liter based block? I saw don Bowles Maverick which has a 6.2 in it at the Columbus NRMA race and if I remember right it was running 8s n/a. Not bad for a 2 valve motor.
No reason to freak. There will always be a faster car out there.
Sick, the GT500 FINALLY gets the aluminum block.
You'd hope they'd drop in price, however the Gt500 heads were/are pretty much the same price as the FGT's. Guess you could get 'em at bone yards some day.According to FRPP site,
FGT wet sump block weighs 100#
NVH iron block weighs 239#
Weight difference (*assuming that is the block they use) 139#
Now if they will get rid of the crappy connecting rods..............
Edit, maybe the FGT WS block will drop in price from the quantity they are casting.
The new 4v engine seems to be much better in power output and design, but as Birdman941 already mentioned, it will probably not respond to mods as the old 4v. The reason is that it' stock components are pretty damn good (intake, exhaust manifolds, etc). Basically, as far as bolt-ons go, it seems to be pretty much maxed out already.
- LSx motors are still better than Mod family motors because Ford refuses to increase displacement for whatever reason.
