[QUOTE="cobracide, post: 5674075, member: 4644"] It's ridiculous to assume that Ford invested millions into modular engine just for image. Interchangeability of parts, multi valve variations (2v, 3v, 4v) as well as the limitations of the ohv engine performance at that time (late 80's - early 90's) all factor into the decision. I'd say for the time, it was the right decision. The versatility is amazing - look at the 3v now. Slap a blower on and it competes with engines with almost twice as many cubes - with just a compression change (2003 cobra - mach I). Anyone now can look back and say - hey, the ohv can do it cheaper and easier but the electronic engine management was not available to the degree it is now. Hindsight is always 20-20. [/QUOTE]
