Cobrar-
The new 5.0L Mustang V8 incorporates the same iron sleeve architecture as does our FGT engine.
It does appear to be a great engine and a high rever. Amazingly the engine designers optimized the mechanical components to deliver an impressive 11:1 compression ratio for the new engine while still being able to run on regular gas. And as some may realize higher CR's are related to higher overall engine thermal efficiency. Thus these engineers understand and appropriately applied the theory of "mechanical octane" to the combustion chamber and piston head design.
I had some right seat time with Mr. McGowen in one of the Mustang 5.0 test mules at Spring Mountain and was very impressed. (with the engine that is.....Mark's driving is, well, ALWAYS impressive).
