There are 348 hp and 388 hp Ford Falcons in Australia (Naturally aspirated 5.4L 4V V8 engines) with 6-speed manual transmissions. I wonder why Ford doesn't make a similar Mustang here in the US that doesn't carry a $20k ADM or require a supercharger.

 

i think the current 4.6L in the GT was more of a financial decision.

by speaking to a few ford experts etc, it makes sense to me that Ford wanted to keep the GT below the psychological level of $30K.

also, keep out the $1000 gas guzzler tax too.

but back to the topic...the PJ 5.0L motor is nice eh???

man....i might want to stroke out my 4.6L 3 or 4 years from now....

 

i wonder if the internals were forged or not. if they were i think id trade my car in

 

They are forged.

 

The spec sheet says 3.55" bore.
Standard mod motor bore is 3.552"
3.552" x 3.80" = 301.2 CID or 4.94L

 

Right, that is why I said it was slightly bored over.

service manual specs:
Bore 90.2 mm (3.5512 in)
Stroke 90 mm (3.5433 in)

 

I agree 110%. 30 years from now there will be thousands of hermetically sealed GT500's and only a handful of PJ's. They are also a very nice tribute to the original.

 

Sure wish someone sold the 7 blade black aluminum louvers on the back of that car.....

 

Those wheels are on my wish list, i've contacted saleen without a reply, anyone know if they are available?

 

Anything with the name Saleen is one of the best at keeping their value for years, add in a legendary racer a limited edition and the performance and everything else that car has going for it, Unbelievible value that will only keep rising as the years go bye.
