That's the F150 engine (intake different, cast exhaust manifolds but largely the same otherwise most likely) but, yeah, ugly. Hence that nasty cover that the Mustang will get.

OHC mod motors have been gigantic physically since Day 1, and the 5.0 carries on the tradition. I've got a 466 on a stand at the moment also, and even though it dwarfs a pushrod 302, it's pretty close to the same size as a 5.0 of today.

^^^^^I sure hope so, too. I need HP and TQ numbers.
Been up there a number of times way back to do work on my 2005 Ford Mustang GT. Had a number of suspension parts installed back in the day.
Those guys up in Pompano know their stuff. :thumbsup:

Also went a few times when they had events.

I'm starting to worry that too many people like the lightning blue. I want the only one.

For the life of me I don't understand why they have these cars blocked off from the public or letting people sit in them. The car is the same pretty much as the '17...I'd love to see how the new sight lines are inside over the hood.

I like the 18 Mustang the only thing I don't like is that the grill is the only difference between the GT and the Ecoboost both have the hood vents

While everyone is bitching about the pulse start button, I hope Ford fired the guy who cut the inner fender lining for the rear wheels.

Because they are prototypes that aren't finalized, and when the public gets into them and notices the things that don't work and post it on the Internet saying Ford screwed up, we'll you know how that goes... :-)

At the Kansas City Auto Show all I had to do was ask and the guy let me up there and sit in it, even opened the hood.

Push Start Button Drama

Its a button - you push it - done
Push Button to Rambo: Don't look at me, look at the road! That's how accidents happen. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:cheers: Don't Drink & Drive either !!;)

Yah I know ;). But at this point they should be beyond prototypes & have some that are near production ready for people to sit in.

Nice. I'm heading up to NY to catch a game and plan on hitting the auto show...I'll ask them if I can do the same.
