But how similar are the Blackwing and 5.5 DOHC engines though? You're comparing an ultra wide TT V8 to an NA one so definitely not apples to apples. Not sure if there is a difference in the "V" angle between the DOHC 3.6 and the 5.5 but in theory they should be very similar with one just being 1/3 longer. There has to be something about the Blackwing specifically if it can't even fit into a huge truck engine bay.
