I wish Ford would tell the gubermint to take a hike and build a Mustang with a 7.5 liter power plant in it, that would make liberals heads explode. I still think about the 1969 Mach I w/ 429 cid, 13.5:1 compression, High Lift Roller Cam, Holly 750 Double Pumper carb, Tuned Exhaust Headers and a C6 Automatic. That was a muscle car.

I’d like to see that 429 with dual overhead cams, 32 valves and the electronics to make it work. The 4.6 (281 cu/in)DOHC is over 300 real hp in stock NA form. Add another ~150 cu/in... The new 5.0 Coyote is something like 630 hp.

Biggest problem with the BBF or FE in a car was the weight of the engine made handling less than optimal.
