It's offical the 5.0 is back (ford>gm)

I don't have a stake in any of that, but.. How long have sbc's and lsx's been in the 400+ cube range?

I dont think that long , really got popular with the TPI 383s, if you wanted big cubes in SB just get the 400sb, otherwise just get a 454 and a torch....lol

you could get a factory 400 sbc since the 70's and they are glorious!

true but is not the same block as a regular SBC...

[wheeliE-maxx]

a 265 is different than a 283/307 is different than a 302/327/350 is different than a 262 is different than a 305. And that's pre roller/efi/one piece seals.. They're all small blocks with different blocks

1970 to be exact. The 400 small block was never glorious in it's stock configuration however

Almost 4000 pounds also.Man they need to offer a stripped model.

Damn I thought it was supposed to be lighter than the new maro. 4k is only a few hundo less than the portly challenger.

yea .. but you asked 400+ CU... 327 and 350s can be made into high RPM screamers ..

you did notice EST .. because they really are not any yet .. 3875 for the 6 speed .. besides weight isnt it problem it aero...

Was rhetorical when asking. You said something to the effect of the Ford can be built into a 427, and I asked rhetorically how long a sbc/lsx has been able to do that. Let's drop the back and forth stuff, I don't know what it is exactly that we're argueing The point is, for 2010/11 Fuurd is number 1

Not arguing just talking .. I was just saying that the new Coyote engine can be bored and stroked ..oposed to the 4.6 .. which is why you see so much FI ... Im not a Ford die hard fan by no means .. I just love the fact that the new Mustang GT can keep up with the LS1 cars ... Thats the main reason I went with the GTO in the first place .. 300 vs 400 Hp ...

[310stanger]

I want this car lol

[snaggeltooth]

I want this car lol

cant wait till ordering comes out .. I hear it may in a few weeks ....

Are you going to get one?

true but is not the same block as a regular SBC...

it's essentially the same. it will bolt directly in place of a 283. the the insides are different just like all sbc's

1970 to be exact. The 400 small block was never glorious in it's stock configuration however

no. but it took very little to make them rock the poo

yea .. but you asked 400+ CU... 327 and 350s can be made into high RPM screamers ..

400's can scream too. i would take mine over 6500 rpm with a street cam. they just love huge heads

yea the 400sbc had them Siamesed bores .. I didnt think any other SBC would interchange .. I havent seen to many of them

[wheeliE-maxx]

It just uses a different flexplate as it's externally balanced. You're also supposed to drill steam holes in the heads but many don't

I did see one that had a oopsy.. Dome tops plus tall cam sometimes equals ... head that looks like someone took a BFH to it .....lol

[wheeliE-maxx]

lul, PTV pre-measurement for the win. It's looking more and more like i'll have to rev the shit out of anything I build out of my 350 to meet my go fast no money goals. Instead of getting 4-eyebrow pistons like your typical tard what you do is get ones with two big valve reliefs instead... Bumps compression past 10:1 on flattops too. ALl this for my future lunati voodoo or comp xfi hydraulic flat

yeah it has siamese bores but it doesnt affect the outer dimentions of the block.
