Good to see a Ford in a Ford. Hilarious that it'll SMOKE a SBC 350....OR a 5.0. Hell,that's BIG H/C/I 5.0 territory. Not the run of the mill GT-40/letter cam/explorer intake stuff. That's a high end build though, not a weekend project by any means

Still gonna be very expensive until (and even after) the '11's come out. Maybe a crate motor option will be on the menu from Ford Racing?

Well I know that when the Gen III SHO with the 3.4 V8 came out it was offered by FMS (IIRC)

I had one guy at Advance Auto telling me it was $12,000 to buy one when I had mine, I then proceeded to tell him he was an idiot.

It very well may have been what with everything needed to make it work in a bare car with NO electronics. Seen the price on the GT500 motor?

No I haven't but I'm sure its completely outrageous. I think the moral of the story is here if you are looking into a swap like this you're best off with buying a wrecked car.

Outrageous isn't the word.

$17699 and that's not including the "control pack" which is ANOTHER $2000 and is believe it or not designed to run with a RETURN style fuel system.

Jeez for that kind of money you can get a Terminator and make it as good as the GT500 engine!

You're talking the whole car right? We're talking swaps here.

So are early mod motors....FINALLY.

Lots of stuff is starting to come down the pike for the 2V motors.
