I have a feeling it's going to get a big kick upward in price.

Why?

I don't remember a 351 F150/250 back in the day. But then again that was a lotta brain cells ago.

The 351/5.8L was in the first Lightning! I think it made like 240hp, lol. I'm pretty sure it was used a long time before that in the trucks though.

I'm interested to see some specs on this 5.8L Gt500 motor... wonder if they'll use the same cylinder process?

No idea what it is priced at. But, I do have a deal for employee pricing. Long story. But, I used business 101 to get what I wanted...I will keep you updated on the process...Good luck with what you do. If you ever thought of getting a GT500, this is the one to get.
