There's definitely a market for big cubes. Anyone wondered why the Challenger is selling so well?
Also, it is no different to manufacturers sharing platforms for different vehicles; in this case the 7.3 was required for the F250, so why not make use of this small block?
Big cubes in a...
Why not?
Even if it isn't alloy it won't be heavier than the Predator; certainly not as top-heavy. Size-wise it's the same a 351 Windsor, only longer for larger bore spacing. It's getting made specifically for F150 and Mustang on a new line so I'm betting they're not going to go to such...
I find it quite amusing that people are trying to dictate what can or can't be discussed.

Would be very cool indeed.
With hardware changes for high rpm it would easily go over 700hp. No blowers or intercoolers means it would probably be on par in weight to Predator. What's stopping Ford producing this in alloy?
As some are aware, Ford Motorsport have released an iron block coyote to cope with boosted applications beyond 2000hp.
A destroked Godzilla with boost would make that look like child's play. Again, and as mentioned in the video, those bores are ridiculously huge. If Ford ever decide to use...
Y'all saw how rich this thing is running in Speed Phenom's vid.... In good conditions and with DRs and tune I'm thinking 8s, not 9s - especially if they don't have trouble with remapping the box' max 3200rpm launch.
Heck, with good conditions a stocky is close to a 9.
Like Bmac mentioned...
"Heritage" is one thing, branding is another. This is an addition to the Mustang line up as we're all aware. What some here are saying is they personally don't feel that it deserves to be called a Mustang, and that is totally fine to believe/think that (In fact my first observation was how this...
You acknowledge that Ford needs this for the future of Ford, but not the future of Mustang, so when Ford go under do you think the Mustang is still going to be made? That is so funny.
This needs the Mustang branding to succeed. Ford didn't just slap a Mustang logo on it - they gave it their...
This SUV needs to succeed in a way something with any other badge from Ford simply won't. That's the biggest reason. There's a lot banking on BEVs and the SUV segment is the most lucrative one, so no matter how great they make this SUV, with a name that doesn't attract people to the showrooms it...
