[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16122209, member: 68944"] Boss 429. 428 cobra. Hell find a way to get a simple 400hp 5.8L 351 as well. I want ibc. I’ve been saying for a few years now that I love the simplicity and ease of maintaining and working with an ibc. Asa ford fan who has gone pretty full tilt 4v, I get it. It’s cool tech and very power dense, but I hate having to work on my 5.3 swap gt head cobra. Even helping buddies with heads that can be pulled off easy in the engine bay, it’s still a total pain in the ass. For 400-1000hp, ibc is easy, reliable enough, and can be set up to rev to 7k rpm. Chevy and dodge were smart to do what they did. Performance: A 450-500lbs aluminum 429 would be BETTER than a 400-450lbs 5.x 4v for these reasons: •easy to place deep. Better distribution. •lower center of mass. Regardless of tech, 4v heads are 2-3 times heavier than ibc heads. •easy 500hp power potential effortlessly. 600hp, 700hp. No problem compared to ringing out a 5l to 8-9k rpm. •components can be beside the mill instead of in front at the worst place for weight distribution •maintenance and repair is obvious. •cool factor obvious. I love the 6.4 scatpacks. 485hp and $38k? Pistol grip shifter? Come on you have to be a fanboy not to love that [/QUOTE]
