Who will swap for the new 7.3 V8!

[bootlegger]

Nascar and Pro Stock (NHRA) still use iron blocks.

Spoken like a blathering fool who doesn't know the rules for NASCAR.

Wonder who would win. If the pro 7.3 swap guys took on the anti 7.3 swap guys in a dodge ball game? Or a knife fight? Hmmm. Anyway.

Let me know I'll sell tickets to the dumb ass show

Norm, we're getting stomped by the ls........those things are like maggots on a corpse.

The Coyote just isn't the go to engine of choice for the masses.

Sales results says you're wrong for the billionth time. And I'll stop you before you start: drag guys who do custom builds and engine swaps are NOT 'the masses'. Get a clue. You're as sheltered as they come.

And Ford has sold a lot of crate Coyotes

How's about a significantly shorter stroke and an OHC conversion of some sort???

Try to read what I typed instead of what you were hoping to hear. I said absolutely nothing about the Coyote.

So I'll try again . . . what if you started with this 7.3, cut about half an inch out of the stroke, and threw away all those pushrods. Maybe cut the deck height back a bit, maybe not. Don't you think that 6.5-ish liters of OHC V8 (properly developed) would have all those 6.2 LS engines for breakfast? Even if the OHC was only a 3-valve?

Norm, it will end up just being too wide.....
I do agree with you, but Ford will never do it.
The Mustang will never get it's own engine platform.

Drop in a ocean compared to the ls......

Sheltered.....you need to go racing at both of our favorite venues.

I do, regularly. Never have I ever seen a S550 LS swap, or even an 11+ S197 LS swap. I'm sure there's a couple that exist, but those are insignificant data points in a sea of hundreds of thousands.

I have been to lots of tracks, seen lots of cars. LS swap mustangs not that common. I will be at Route 66 in Joliet in July. I'll keep an eye out for how many non ford powered fords there are there

Knock it off........Most Stangs at the strip now days are ls powered.
Just go to Yellow Bullet or Competition Plus for internet verification.
These are drag racing forums by the way.

Being a Ford guy......they take great pleasure proving this fact over and over and over and.....

So while at the strip.......be honest with yourself.

I used to hit the strip every Friday night. I participated in a traveling racing series from 08-10. Only rule was no throttle stops. Not 1 of the mustangs in the series was LS powered. We had classes from 13.50 down to 8.60 Not 1 LS powered mustang participated, And Mustangs by far were the most common car being raced.
