2015 Shelby GT350 Mustang
For all you gear heads...Wow... :B Interesting Ford went back to a naturally aspirated engine at 5.2L and a Flat Plane Crank. Link

Being a bit of a car guy, though I have to ask one question. Why...at pretty well...all of the hot rod and vintage modified car shows that I have gone to over the years....is the overwhelming choice of modified engines...invariably a Chevy. Either the perennial Hot Rodder's favourite...the small block Chevy V8, the big block Chevy V8 (Rat motor) or the modern Chevy V8...the LS.
Why do most of the hot rodded Ford's from the Model T, to the Model B to the '32 , the '33...the beautiful late '30's and very early '40's Fords,,,mostly seem to have a hopped up Chevy V8 under the hood.
You see a few Ford 302 OHV's, some 351 Cleveland and Windsor, rarely an FE or a 385 series...the 429/460.
Can't recall last time I saw the modular OHC, 4.6, 5.4, etc.
These hot rodders must know something ?
Because it doesn`t take much of an imagination to use a Chevy motor. Most Chevy guys have no imagination and just go with what is the easiest thing to do.
C'mon, if you're a true car guy you know that's not the case.:)
