LT 5 is 10:1 compression ratio, the predator is 9.5:1 The LT5 makes 90 more FT/Lbs of torque The predator makes 625 ft/lbs from 3k-7500 |

I can’t help but cringe every time someone brings up HP per liter. Worst possible metric there is for comparing motors. Besides, that 5.2 is the larger motor in terms of space taken up.

Interesting how the LT5 has only a slightly higher compression ratio, given it has port and direct injection while the Predator is only port injected.

The 05-09 Range S197 Mustang GT500s are the 5.4 SOHC, NOT the DOHC Coyote. Decades (plural) means at least 20 years, and the Coyote is the DOHC they have been using since 2011, so just under ONE Decade. I am from a family of Mustang owners, and I have one, they have NOT been using DOHC engines in the MUSTANG for DECADES. The new GT500, -vs- Dodge's and Chevy's top of the line Challenger, and Camaro, the GT500 won every time. |

4 Cams 4 valves per cylinder and 1000rpm higher redline.
The thing that really matters is torque and that high revving 4 cammer makes a lot less at 625lb feet and the tq peak is something like 5000rpm. GM believes in power and tq through the whole rev range rather than peak numbers which can be very misleading. Fords engine is also heavier. The Camaro ZL1 1LE just topped the GT500 in C&D's March 2020 edition with 110 less HP! You need to put the power to the ground or its useless.

There were quite a few cars (including Mustangs) sold by FoMoCo and some of the companys that branch off it that sold Modular DOHC cars nearly two decades before Coyote was even introduced. In fact the Coyote in just the evolution of the Modular DOHC motor. It's block shares the same footprint as a Modular 4.6L. While it's quite different and improved in certain area's, in many ways they are very similar. Think of it as being similar to comparing the GEN4 vs GEN5 SBC motors to each other. |

My statement should have been a question. I am trying to educate myself with this thread. Thanks for your help 👍

Fordauthority says 5.2 voodoo and 5.2 predator are dohc. I don’t think this is debatable.

Then you claim that you come from a Mustang family and that you own one. Okay, well of the Mustangs I currently own I've had my 03 Cobra since 2006, and my 88 GT since 2010, and of the other Fords I currently own I've had my 03 Lightning since 2010 and my 13 Taurus for a year this month. Finally you said and I quote: Quote:

So, you want to consider skipping some 05-10 S197 mustangs with DOHC as DECADES?
One or two years a platform, you can get a DOHC engine, and that's DECADES? If it were a continual, EVERY YEAR option, then I would agree, but it's not. So, the SVT Cobras had a 4.6 4V DOHC, 2 years here, 3-years there, a DECADE? 1996–1998, 1999, 2001, 2003–2004 - STOP, that's EIGHT years, oh, juts shy a decade. The 4-valve DOHC version of the Modular engine was introduced in the 1993 Lincoln Mark III, and was used WELL before the Mustang. YOU CAN SAY, FORD has been using a DOHC for decades across platforms. You said they were using DOHC in the Mustang for DECADES. That's not 100% true. Then you had FOUR years, from 2007 to 2010, with the 5.2s in the GT500, and KR, not a Decade either, that's four years for the 05-10 run of the S197s. Then the Coyote in 2011 to 2020, so that's ONE continual decade of a DOHC motor planted in a MUSTANG. I do not consider DECADES, when it's spaced out, not continual. You want to say 2.5 decades, when it is not a continual, or consecutive run of mustangs with a DOHC engine for EVERY SINGLE YEAR, since 1995, when 1996 was the 1st year for the DOHC mustang SVT. So, go on with your DECADES for mustang, when the sporadic years don't equal 2.5 decades total. YOU SAID MUSTANGS, not other models, so don't add your OTHER models to justify your decades for MUSTANG claim. Decades for FORD; you bet, but for Mustangs, NO. |
