Nice find. Go for it. You'll feel the weight difference in acceleration and steering feel.
Nice thing about wheel & brake weight reduction is no real compromises or downsides.
289 (4.75 aka 4.8), 5.0, 5.2 FPC or CPC with twin turbos would not disappoint me.
Supercharged would be a small let down in status and aftermarket tuning but performance could still be great. Some will argue better.
7.0 NA is awesome. Only concern, it would reach same road course market as...
I think it'll be 3800 max. In order to create a balanced car. I don't think, they're not going to drop a 30k engine in a regular chassis. I think it will have 10-15k worth of chassis updates. GT350 already improved handling. What else would they spend money on if not weight savings to offset...
I think it's a kit R&D. Or possibly a future Cobra. 5.8 GT500 and FPC GT350 set the bar high on uniqueness. New GT500 with "only" a supercharged 5.0/5.2 would be awesome but not necessarily unique. Twin turbos is still leading the back as far as possibilities. I believe only thing that would...
The above picture is Mazda's version.
But here is Easton's 3 versions that would work, VVL, deactivation & both

Bore x stroke
Raptor 6.2 ~102 x 95
GT350 5.2 94 x 93
New 7.0??
A) oversquare high rpm 108.5 x 95
Or
B) square balanced 103.8 x 103.8
Or
C) stroked torquey ~102 x 107.5
Max RPM (based on GT350's piston speed)
A) 8100
B) 7350
C) 7100
108.5 x 95 would be a screamer with 4 huge...
Dealers are required by Ford to investigate warrantee claims. They could lose their dealership if they don't properly investigate and document. Something sounds fishy. Which dealership refused to look at your car?
I think the original plan was introduce S650 in 2023 MY. It was going to be a small lightweight, 1995 Acura Integra sized car. Similar to Fox body was almost replaced by Ford Probe. It would've probably had 1.5 turbo, 2.3 turbo and 3.0 v6 turbo. With only high dollar special edition downsized V8...
Layout design can be done on a napkin. Engineering parts for completely different diesel and gasoline engines exhaust and intake requirements is a different story. If they chose (i doubt it) to create a unique reverse flow cylinder head, intake & exhaust. Their decision was not based on the...
'18 coyote block has provisions for 4 knock sensors. Voodoo & Coyote only 2.
Also like stated many times before, PTWA bores. PTWA spray is thinner than conventional liner. Resulting in slightly larger bore. They were resigning pistons anyway.
I don't know if '18 coyote will receive Voodoo...
Coyote is open
Voodoo has cast-in reinforcement
Aftermarket prepared block has machined and pressed-in bracket.
The reinforcements strengthen cylinder wall and improve gasket sealing.
Also, Voodoo has more material at the base of the cylinder walls. You can't see it.
Sorry don't have...
This is an Audi single plenum single throttle body intake manifold used on their old V8s. Was dropped when they introduced VVT cam pulleys. The VVT acheieved wide torque curve without variable intake system.
I take a different view. Ferrari DOHC heads used to be very fat. So the room inside the V was small. They were forced to have vertical shaped manifolds and runners. As DOHC system shrank in size. It allowed more room in the V. Ferrari kept the vertical shaped runners and downdraft carbs but were...
The lag you described earlier is not a problem. The whole off-idle torque is ridiculous. Torque converters blow through low rpm. On manual cars people launch at higher rpm. The car will probably have launch control to help build boost off the line. If you're driving normal you don't need boost...
