I doubt it. Especially not naturally aspirated, CAFE compliant, emissions legal, and perfect driveability.

The 5.0L DOHC 4-valve “Cammer” engine is an upgraded variant of the 4.6L DOHC 4-valve Mustang Cobra engine, with numerous changes for improved power and durability. This engine is completely electronically managed. As part of the “Cammer” crate engine program, a stand-alone harness and engine management computer will be available separately. This will allow the engine to be used for many applications.
With proper headers (not included) and low restriction air intake and vehicle exhaust systems, the engine will exceed 400 Bhp and have a very broad torque curve, peaking over 365 ft./lbs.
Suggested Retail $14,995.00

MrWilson said:no doubt that 5.0 cammer crate is a piece for the $, but just because ford is f;n ppl in the anus for that doesnt speak for all of the mod motors.
Dr. Paul said:Ford has been screwing people since the day they started building OHC motors. While other manufacturers continue to build stronger, more powerful, more fuel efficient pushrod motors, Ford continues to hang on to this miserable platform. I'll never understand why.

The bottom line is that I, and most people here, like the Mark VIII for everything; motor, looks, interior, comfort, reliablity. The fact of the matter is that this is the Mark VIII section of this website, and no matter how good the 5.7 is from GM, its not going in one of these cars, and MrWilson was not asking for a fight when he was looking for peoples oppinions.
This thread has become asinine and non-sequitur.

torquemonkey said:A college Sorority? Humph. Ok, thats an interesting way to interject in a conversation. These opinions are just that, not fights, Mr Wilson can see that and is receptive to what is being posted. The gist of the post was to go big and the 7 liter small block chevy did come into play.
Those who have responded have built engines and strokers. The second issue of any Hobbyist buildup is cost. Push rods engines at this time, do produce the most power for the money. Mr. Wilson wants to buildup a MOD motor because he can. Kudos for the effort.
My take on the bench raceing here is, a few fellas willing to take the time and energy to listen and offer their own experiences.
I have the opinion that Mr. Wilson understands this and does appreciate the input.
Lugi20 said:The fact that you know that makes me wonder about your intentions in the first place.
Lugi20 said:I suppose perception is a relative thing. The way the article was reading really seemed like bickering, but I will certainly confess that thats a good point you make so long as all participants in the discussion feel the same way.
