[QUOTE="mike69440, post: 13559931, member: 3142"] [b]Termi motor vs. 5.8 Durability.[/b] Termi motors suffer from poor heat rejection in the heads and pistons siezing due to to tight Piston to wall. Pistons are ok but not as good as the 13 pistons, so I am told. A lot of rocket sciece has bee done of the Powder metal "forged" 13 rods. Seems like all the early concern was not waranted. The spacing between bores on a 5.8 just scares me though. The 13 needs 3.73 gears for just putting around. +60 in first is too tall. Considering the Fox platform that should have had welded factory subframes on the Termi, the 03-04 Cobra had a heck of a suspension for a 2003 Mustang. The 03 sure could use the current Z28 brakes however. For that matter, so could the 13-14 GT. I hope Ford adresses the braking gap between Ford and GM. 03 is crude, loud, lacks build quality, brakes kinda suck, and you can break them at 600 hp, but I'm in no hurry to sell. [/QUOTE]
