It's in my will!!

She can have the passenger seat if she wants.

I'm sorry Scott, but that seems like a waste of a perfectly good Mach.

Yeah. That would definitely do it. I'd be lucky to keep the car then. I'm glad you were able to keep yours.

Over heard on a Air Force Military Channel:

This is Iranian Air Control to unidentify aircraft you are in Iranian air space leave immediately.

This is United States Aircraft I'm flying in Iraqian air space over

This is Iranian Air Control leave immediately or we will send Iran air support up to clear you.

This is United States Air Force F-18a Hornet Fighter send them up I'll wait

I just got my MGW shifter delivered yesterday, this thing is very well designed. It's going to be a fun year driving the car with it in place.

Why engineer one set of heads and valvetrain to only have to completely engineer another new set of heads and valve train in a year or two?

Personally I think Ford was under pressure to break thru the 400hp mark from it's competitors. Tough to do with only 281 CI of displacement. So they really only could do it with the 4V heads. I am just sad to hear they are still going to use the same powder metal (crappy) rod design and hyperpathic pistons in the 5.0. The guys that supercharge these puppies are really going to be under the gun because they are still going to want 150 rwhp gain and these parts won't hold up.

I'm really wondering about the FI potential of the 5.0 engine...... not sure it will have the success that the 4.6 has has, because you're right Scott the blower people will want a 150 rwhp gain and who knows if it will hold.
