What he meant to say was "must not have been around Ford engines very long, because they all have problems". You have to translate for these guys, because they speak a different language. It's an...

Well you have to remember Jim, the LT6 took away the whole "we have more valves", and "HP per Liter" nonsense away (not that any of that matters), so they 'gotta cling to something...

I haven't looked over there is a while. I was over on the other site when the GT500 came out to learn more about the car and whatnot. I might have to go over and check it out. I could use a good...

Seeing as how this is a pretty radical departure from anything GM has done before, I'm sure there will be a few growing pains. Especially since most folks think 5.0L is the limit for FPC before...

Yes, Ford said they couldn't do a dual intake system due to packaging issues, so they had to change the firing order to UDUD instead of UDDU. That's why is sound more like a cross plane than flat in...

Nope, they don't.

The engine has to meet the requirements of the car, generally.

I'm not convinced it can't. The Mustang has already had as much as a 5.4L DOHC, and FPC engines blocks are typically smaller than CPC, it's a matter of fitting the intake system.

My first guess might be there is no engine coming.
My second guess would be an LT5 or LT3 (tied).
My twelfth guess would be a Z06 engine powered Z/28.:smiling1:

Line-up wise, the last Z/28 was too expensive, so obviously, the cost would be closer to the ZL1 but still more. Also, I would guess it would be more track focused to differentiate it in the lineup,...
