Actually, the 'new' & 'improved' 4.6's are bigger. |

In actual external dimensions.
If you wanted to transplant a new 5.4l into an old 'stang, you start by removing the shock towers and putting in a new front suspension.
What a joke. $6 billion to design an engine that is bigger, then Steeda uses Ford's own foundry and small-block Windsor block and without too much trouble, chops off 8" in length. How bad has the Ford engineering department become since winning actually meant something in the '60's? Ever since they went to the team (everyone doesn't win) approach, they have made one bad decision after another. It's only the Ford bean-counters who have bailed them out by making business cases for buying companies like Jaguar and Aston-Martin where the winning spirit hasn't been crushed by corporate conformity. |
