[QUOTE="Fourcam380, post: 15584667, member: 185249"] So Shelby owners would rather make do with an inferior design? That's a hard sell. Oil squirted have been used on many engines including the 6.1 hemi. Not a big deal. The 5.8 (flame suit on) wasn't a good motor. It had modular 5.4 architecture. Super undersquare even with larger 5.8 bore, which is why Ford never bothered to go NA with it. Port angles suck and valves too small to make power. FI doesn't care about any of that. And it reduces the longblock to the importance of simply holding the power the FI makes. With that in mind the 5.0 makes more sense than 5.2 as twins again don't care about valve shrouding (5.0 vs 5.2) and the extra meat between bores helps seal the cylinder with boost. Other than Ford look at the engine sharing that goes on these days and or has with Factory TT engines Ferrari Ca = F488, s560 = s63, e63, c63, glc63, the only difference is software which oems love as there is no retooling cost as with hardware upgrades. Like it or not it's happening and will continue to due to the above. [/QUOTE]
