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.

Easy, I would ask Dreadnought and SHM to breate on the existing engine and drive train

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.....................

With a lotto win I'd get a SHM 4.6 2V set-up with S/C

5.7l LS1 lump with a turbo bolted on for good measure!

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