In the November 14th issue of Autoweek on page 19 is a blurb about celebrating the 75th anniversary of the 32 Ford in 2007. A guy by the name of Craig Knight is putting together duece coupes with a motor from GM, Chrysler and Ford. The GM motor will be a 505 hp LS7 Corvette engine, the Chrysler motor will be a 500 hp 6.1 liter Hemi and here is the interesting part the Ford motor will be a 4.6 liter 350 hp Mach 1 V8.

So, the question is, is the mention of the 4.6L 350hp Mach 1 engine referring to the prior Mach 1 or a Mach 1 engine setup to come out in 2007 as a 2008 model?

 

I suspected from the start it would be a Mach and would be in '07 or '08. This would be really cool. Anyone know, or want to speculate, what will be the difference between the Mach and the standard GT to make those extra 40-50 horses?

 

I am going to be optimistic and say cams/ported heads

 

Too bad he couldn't get a 450+ hp GT500 5.4L SC V-8 to hang with the 500-hp GM and D-C engines.

 

GM with 505 hp. Chrysler with 500 hp. Ford with a lousy 350hp. Come on, can't they do better than that.

 

In Ford's defense, they aren't comparing the right car. Like Brad said, they should have gotten the GT500 instead of a possible Mach.

 

How about the 550hp Ford GT engine that beats them all!!

 

lol

It will probability run on premium fuel.

 

Maybe it's the engine that Kevin mentioned in this thread (4.6DOHC) http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=550694

 

I'm going to guess it is just a tuned version of the 4v 4.6 previously used in the 03-04 Machs.

But really, who knows...

 

Yeah but you gotta control the flames

 

Ford needs to build a non supercharged high performer; the cammer is hopeful but apparently not street legal. Hopefully for the 07,08,09 models we will see SEs powered by naturally aspired 350+ HP motors.

 

I can't remember where I read it, but I seem to remember the next SE will have the 390 HP 03-04 cobra motor. I think this would be a great engine in between the GT and the GT500.
