If you've never seen and fast 5.0 Mustangs, it's gotta be because you won't look at them.... Not even counting the new Coyote 5.0 that does a bit over 700 hp in street trim and still gets 25 mpg!!!!! The world of EFI, DOHC, Whipple Superchargers and the like is very exciting and very fast!!!!

Hate to say it, or to see it but I'm afraid the days of pushrod engines and carburetors are coming to a close.....Whether we like it or not.....

over head cam engines have been around for a long time .so what ... i build a hell of alot push rod engines and still will 10 years from now if i am not in the dirt by then. you do build what you want ? if you do not want to build any thing go buy a new car most guys do not have the money or do not want one as for a new ford or some of GM stuff that i have drove down the street or went for a ride in there fine. if thats what you want . just like the Harley guys still pay to make them run faster pay me to bore them out and head work or a flat head guy . they could buy a faster bike or the flat head guy buy over head valve engine or heads $$ to make more power .600+ cid on the street pump gas with all steel car no 15 wide back tires with no computer to help you drive or help you make power ,that.s the fun? of this hobby ? if not there is a show room in evey big town
