[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 13561760, member: 20202"] Not sure what you meant by "poor heat rejection" in the heads I have never heard this :shrug: Perhaps you can elaborate. Does the 5.8 carry the same PWC as the 4.6 @ .001"? :nonono: The 4.6 OEM Pistons were the first thing to go because of it. Replacing the pistons with lose fitting aftermarket slugs fixes that. It appears the issue with PM rods was resolved with the early GT500. This is what nearly killed the Terminator. PM rods are not something I would run out and buy but it's pretty amazing Ford was able to get them to survive in this engine. Our bore spacing sucks!:cuss: The bean counters would not allow the engineers to stray from the basic mod motor geometry so they would not have the expense of re-tooling as much. This motor needs more bore and less stroke. ...........and how! This statement got me scratching my head. The stock Cobra brakes for the street are pretty good no one complains. The early GT500 are even better and I image the 013 is better yet (it better be the rotors weigh 32 lbs ea :uh oh:). Does the Z28 Chebby stop faster? As an electro-mechanical design engineer who has been thru every nut & bolt, wiring harness, mechanical assemblies on this chassis I can tell you straight up the build quality of the Terminator is very good. The fact the stock block is good to about 600 rwhp and the T56 hold-up very well in 800 hp cars is a testament how robust the driveline is. I think your confusing the integrity of the chassis with the term quality. The SN95 is a wet noodle chaissis compared to the S197. I agree it is not as refined as the GT500 but in a performance car that is not necessarily a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
