I said 5.0. I did not say anything about 8 cylinders. And definitely not an svo.
Being serious now. I am very disappointed that I could not get the splitports where I wanted them. I don't understand why people don't do what you pay them to do. Chad Speier got some nice flow numbers, but didn't do what I wanted him to do, I know they could have been much better. So instead of spending more money on a head that probably wouldn't be strong enough to handle the power I plan on making, I decided to bite the bullet and go with a set of billet heads. I been talking to Dave Visner from visner engine development. Basically we are going to use his small block ford design ( developed for Australian prostock) and he will make a V6 version. The best part is that there are going to be 14 head studs instead of 8. For the block we are still using the 2001 mustang block. All six hole will be sleeved and be a 4.00 bore instead of the 3.80 bore. The center bore will remain in the same position but the outer bores will be moved further outboard to accommodate the larger bore.
So with the bore and stroke combo we will be right around 302 cubic inches.
