I was told by my ( a different ) source that the 5.2 Predator has steel OPG

That's be great and a huge time (and effort) saver. It's easy to slip on a different gear during assembly but a major PIA once the engine is installed. I hope your source is correct.

I knew it used a viscous damper but thought it was steel and not aluminum. Interesting.

I sense the oil pump gear is still powdered metal as Ford would be lauding a steel gear if they were now using one.

And funny that they don't mention the ZL1 1LE in terms of bench marking but instead talk about the Corvette.

Time will tell. There are all sorts of little changes on the performance pack cars, the GT350s that never get talked about from a marketing perspective but are quite important.

He said all changes will move forward to voodoo.

Better not include the 4 layer head gasket though.

why?

 

[Darkane]

why?

Lowers compression.

Unless they figure out a way to offset that, it’ll reduce power.

They could use more timing, but I’d fear they would do that and not disclose it.

Ever hear of the 1999-2000 cobra fiasco?

He covered the ZL1 1LE when he mentioned benchmarking the pony cars.

Being that corvette is higher performance than zl1 it made sense to mention that.

My point is that they go out of their way to not say ZL1 1LE.

"The engine is kind of at the end of its box for the technology it needs to take the next step..."

Is that "box" related to the 100mm bore centers that has plagued the mod motors since their inception? Give it a 110mm bore spacing and all of the problems go away. De-stroke it to make a rev-happy 5.0L screamer, or show people what a 6.xL 4-cam engine can do. I find it odd how many companies try to get around a dry sump and come up with half-baked ways to combat it (Not just Ford - Dodge did it with the Viper for the entire run). GM throws dry sump even in the "lesser" Z51 vette engines. I hope for the tuners this engine has a real/not-inferred map sensor... It can work, the Hellcat has both a MAP and a MAF.

They've been teasing this engine so long, I've lost interest. Ferrari and Lamborghini don't tease horsepower figures, and Ford is like an ugly girl in that company, and really not worth the blue balls.

 

[Hi-PO Stang]

Great to hear the Voodoo FPC engine will continue to be produced.

 

[V00D00]

I wonder if they will in any way try to tie into the new Ford vs Ferrari move for the numbers release?

The movie is not scheduled to be released until November so that is not likely the date.

Dont know, odds are 500's hit the streets the same time the movie comes out

I dont know that he can be trusted. its a very big name in aftermarket Mustang stuff, and has several 500s coming their way, but 1st bit of info like this and unvalidated

I'd rather they release it on September 9th at 9:00AM

Too bad they couldn't have released January 10th at 10 am. I need me some double digit numbers to get where I want it to be.
