If you had won the lotto?
A random thought came to me. We all know that the Mustang engine is not the best V8 in the world but due to circumstances MGR bought it. I do appreciate that the space in the engine bay is limited and that is one of the reasons why they choose it.
However if you won the lotto and you could afford to be very extravagant with it what other V8 would you put in the 75/zt? |

best v8
If hienikin made a v8, it would be a lexus sorra v8 265bhp.
the smoothest & most reliable v8 in the world. probably the best 4.0 v8 in the world. correction. it is the best. |

If you want more power the existing block will take about 1,000 bhp but I'm not sure how drive able it would be with much more than 500? It is already a great car to drive why spoil it?
