It will be a fine engine. I'm not really criticizing Ford; I was just pointing out that OHC being in all ways superior to pushrod is not really a given.

But look at most of Ford's engines; the 3.0 V-6 in the Five Hundred is woefully underpowered by today's standards. Look at the 4.6 V-8 in the Crown Vic. What does that put out? 218 hp? I have a 4.6 Triton in my F-150. A decent engine, but certainly a little bit underpowered by today's standards.

The 3V 4.6 in the Mustang is a good step forward, at least.

Actually I agree with you. Most of Fords lineup is underpowered, but I believe you can get one of those F-150's with a 5.4L 300hp engine.
