Keep dreaming then I guess. According to that "other" forum GM already tried this with the C7 Z06. They could hit the power numbers they wanted no problem. However they could not get the new 7.0 to pass emissions which is why there is a supercharged engine in the Z06 and not NA power plant.There is also the fact that I simply wanted a big block before I hung up the keys. The LS7 motor is a good alternative but if Ford sells a limited edition big block Mustang before they go all EV then I’m in...
Yup, I did try to by one while still on the lot and lucked out so I’m actually not a Coyote hater when it come down to it. Erick427?
Are you talking about the ones that put a hot cal and bigger turbo on the existing 2.3? I'd say that was nothing by comparison....
Ford isn't going to get there. They don't want to. The engines are going to get smaller, not bigger. That's just a fact of following the trends. For example, we have incredibly thin smartphones today with 5G. Are we going to go back to 4G or 3G? No of course not. Are we going to go back to the "brick" car phone? No of course we won't. Same thing with any technology that advances. Emissions regulations are getting tighter and tighter. Engines are getting smaller and more efficient both from a power perspective and emissions perspective.
What if the iron block had the same PTWA coating that the Gen3 Coyote has? Then what?

Holy crap I've explained this over and over. He even said somewhere that he's ok with having to work on the bastardized car constantly was wasn't ok with a 5.0 that received warranty work. Most of the points about the current 5.0, how the A10 will respond, the fact that he hasn't even driven a 2015+ hard ever driven a 2018+, and reliability have been explained to him ad nauseum. He just hates the 5.0.
Right. If something goes wrong with the 5.0, it will most likely happen early on within the warranty period. Ford fixes it -- done and done. In other words, beat the hell out of it and have fun! At some point we all have to learn to let things go and have fun with it.
My uber heavy all aluminum 5.0 doesn't feel nose heavy at all.
List of power you've compared favorably to the 5.0:Yup, I did try to by one while still on the lot and lucked out so I’m actually not a Coyote hater when it come down to it. Erick427?
