5.0 engine in F-150 vs Mustang
The 5.0 in the F-150 has a lot less horse power. Anyone know why? are they the same engine
|
Because it has more tq?
|
if i remember correctly, doesnt the F150 version of the 5.0L have a lower compression ratio than the Mustang 5.0L?
|
Likely a different cam profile too
|
It's from adjustments to the PCM tuning and TiVCT to make for a power curve that is more favorable to a truck and towing and hauling.
A truck with a motor that has a power peak near to 7000 rpm won't tow or haul very well so they bring the power down in the rpm range. |

The truck has a cast crank vs forged on the Mustang. Cast iron manifolds vs the tubular exhaust on the Mustang. less aggressive cam profile. tuned for lower and broader tq range.

The F150 has a lower compression for one.

Here is a pic of my F150 Mustang.
That prop looks like it came off a pretty good sized boat; got any towing pics? |

When transported by land a tractor trailer is used along with escort vehicles. Here is an image. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...AonTrailer.jpg |
