That is the main reason I want to put a Ford motor in it.
And to all you LS engine guys, yes, they are good engines, but I'm not just going to drop in an LS because I can. Im not sure i will gain that much, as opposed to a Ford motor. To build one up to the power I want also means it will either sound lumpy and idle at 1000rpm or have a blower on it, which will negate any weight savings. the more power you want, the more trade offs you have to make. I would do an n/a Boss 302 mod motor, but I don't want a torque less screamer that needs 4.56 gears. I will admit LS engines dominate their naturally aspirated Ford rivals, but the mod motors respond well to boost and can retain stock driveability. The other thing I have learned is that the closer I can get to oem, the less reliability issues I will likely have, hence I am leaning towards purchasing as much as I can from Ford Racing.
Who knows, next week I might just change my mind and decide I want to build a Ford equivalent of Badmotorfinger. I would, of course have Chevy stripes on it.
