Id keep the existing block etc etc, but have the entire car re built from top to bottom, and get one of those fancy engineering companies to give the engine a complete re - work etc. Pretty much what they did with the E-type I saw on Telly a couple months back.

Interesting to hear that even though the v8 is not the best on the market most would keep it and try and make it better.

Rebuild the engine with a Billet crank and stroke to 5.0, as per this article http://www.musclemustangfastfords.co...r/viewall.html and then fit a Kenne Bell with 50 pound injectors and a 10 psi pulley!

The new 5.0 Cobra engine would be nice but.....................

First generation Jensen Interceptor in dark Metalic blue. I would sell my kidney for that and I only have one of them.
