Just don't hit 88 mph.

This is true, most people who take the new mustang to a track that can reach over 88mph finish the race before they start it. kinda of an unfair advantage but i'm sure they will revise the rules to help make it more fair.

Ford has gotten positive results from this sweet looking plumbing...I wonder if the plenum on the upcoming 5.0 will take on this look?

The "classic" 302 CID engine you refer to was actually 301.6 CID - 4.94L ( 4.00 x 3.00 )

That'd work for me

I found a Flux Capacitor here: http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...products_id=28

A little steep at $175,000, but as the description says "can you really put a price on time travel?"

Hah, none of your exact classic 302 here! In any event a classical classical 4.9 would be 92.20mm x 92.53mm

Hmmm wonder if they are just going to make the engine square (although that would yield only 300 cubic inches and it would solidly be a 4.9)

These days I'll take what I can get, even if it's only 92.20x 92.53.

Seems the 5.0 V8 will also be seen in the next Falcon.

Seeing as the Falcon 5.4 Boss makes 400hp, if they're looking at the 5.0L then that means...

I'm not so picky as long as the cylinderhead can get the air in there be it over square, under square or square, all on a small bore. IIRC the best factory windsor head flowed maybe 200 cfm on a 4" bore where any of the 3 and 4v heads flow significantly more than that.

That said I'd really take my 5.0 in a 104.78mm x 71.75mm and drop the deck on the block as far as I could.
