Ford Mustang: A Sweet Motor For The New Mach 1!

typically the rules only let you go tighter. So if you had a 1992 car and
swapped in a 2003 motor you would then be required to have all the emission
controls to match the year of the engine. Of course each state has its own
quirks.

Patrick,

Yes. But even a supercharger on the Marauder would increase sales. Big
question, though. Can you run 11:1 on pump gas? It's pushing the
envelop as far as super undeaded is concerned.

This engine was discussed probably six months ago or more. There were talks
of having it available by late spring of this year... unfortunately, it's
not available yet. It is to sell with an option of engine wiring harnesses
and computers to allow it to be dropped into all vintages of vehicles. I
personally think a 5.0 cammer in a Fox would be cool. Still a 5.0, could
retain the badging and all.

What I'd *rather* see out of the 5.0 Cammer though is an option to get
forged internals (not just forged pistons) and about an 8.5:1 or 9:1
compression ratio. Build 4.6-like strength into the block and make the
heads flow better than the new GT heads. I'd imagine you'd still be in the
325-350hp range even with the low compression, and it would be the most
blower-friendly crate engine ever offered. Strap a blown 5.0 cammer in
anything and go to town. You're looking at probably $10-12k including
blower and electronics, but you have the bullet to do anything you want.

Jimmy,

Yeah, 11:1 would be too high for street applications unless all your
driving is at the top of Mount Everest. Liike someone else wrote
later in this thread, it would be nice to see a low(er) compression
version for those wanting to add a blower.

Around here (NJ) some Sunoco stations sell 94 octane... I wonder if that
would do it. Just go conservative on the timing and it might work, seeing as
how it's an all aluminum engine. I've heard 10.5:1 is about all you can do
on 92 or 93 (93 is premium here). I couldn't imagine spending that much on
gas though, it's almost $2.00 last time I checked. It's like $.10-$.15 more
for 1 octane point! Personally I'd rather use displacement to make power and
run on 89, probably make more torque down low than that 302/5.0 as well.
