5.0 Bullitt spec (GT350 intake and tune) ++

5.2 normally aspirated cross plane crank 

5.0 + hybrid

 

Seems there are a number of potential ways for this to go. 

 

 


option 2 seems like it's the least likely of those 3 to me. You’re basically talking about a whole new engine at that point.

5.2 with a CPC is basically the GT500 engine without the supercharger.  The last Mach 1 was the Cobra engine (Terminator) without the supercharger. Not saying it will happen, but I think it’s a possibility.

Yep, my reasoning for throwing the option of the normally aspirated 5.2 cross plane crank V8 is because that's effectively a GT500 engine without the supercharger. This was the route the '03/'04 Mach 1 took. It used a n/a Cobra motor.....a 32v quad cam V8 with 305hp, verses the 16v 260hp V8 in the GT of the time. There's also already a 5.2 cpc crate engine called the Aluminator.

 

I do agree that's the least likely option, but it would be my choice.

 

I suspect it'll be a Bullitt spec V8 with perhaps a little more power (495hp?)

 

As for rear window slats......some things are better left in the past :)

I've seen a S550 Mustang with rear window slats on the road. I know they were aftermarket but the look doesn't suit that car. 


Apparently it’s a thing for f-150s now. I’ve seen a few on the road...

Always has shocked how much money people will spend to make their vehicle look worse than it did from the factory. 

 

Nothing is shocking to me anymore. Style is subjective. I am sure the reason the person is doing it because they think it will look good. However, there is a large amount of the population that has bad taste.
