It is the perfect engine for this size truck. The truck is actually about 500# lighter than the SC, but all in the wrong place - the rear. For that reason, I would need some launching lessons before running it at a shootout! I am good with a rolling start, but next to impossible to keep from spinning with brake type launch. It would be fun to know if the 0 - 60 time is better than the stock SC with the lighter overall weight.
I am running on temporary tires for the time. Are there some preferred type tread for best road grip and launch?
BTW - I also own an MGB and a MGA coupe. The truck can keep up with either on a tight curve, and flies away on the straight away.

I blew the original engine in my 13, and since I had full bolt-on my warranty was void. So I bought a salvage motor out of another 13 with 7k miles and it included everything. Turbos, piping, literally everything. Bought it shipped for $3,500. Not bad if you think the replacement from Ford was 7k.Just settled on the BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2. Mainly because they were one of the few who offered a 235/45-18.
Eco-boost we are not! I have driven those. With that much crazy power, there should be a few crashing soon to supply the hot rod after market. It would make a fun swap into something.
