I'm loving it!!
Looks like a Whipple sitting on top of that block. What size? I'm guessing that engine is good for about 700-800 horse. Torque monster too.
Keep us posted!

4.0 so take those numbers up. This engine also will not fall off after the first lap

Just drop in a Super Cobra Jet Engine, They make around 900HP In stock Trim.

It would take a healthy LS to do that . .

If the boss 5.0 will fit, I imagine just about anything will fit.

Call me crazy but the thing that jumped out at me first about this motor is the dual throttle bodies allowing a symmetrical intake? Thats going to look slick. The uber hp motors are becoming too common place around here.

I am currently underway on my next project which I hope to use to put Ford back on the Pro-Touring map and kick some butt on the track. I have not locked on the color just yet but thought I would share just a peak of what is coming at you.

Eric Brockmeyer is handling the renderings on this one and has knocked it out of the park on the first try. More to come once we have the color figured out.

What does everyone think? Have I lost my mind??????

I'm not sure I understand. You're putting a blown lsx into a coyote car to put Ford on the PT map? Are you getting a wrecked V6 car or a body in white to start? I think a stock 2014 GT with a set of tires would beat all but 10% of the PT old iron out there anyway. Would be sad to spend a pile of dough on a car Chevy people don't understand and Ford people hate unless it's just what you wand do out of bordem.

Beyooteefool... Keep the 5.0, higher compression, intake and exhaust, you know, the whole shebang.

The dual throttle bodies is because even a single 102 mm chokes the intake air flow.
