I'm not knocking pushrod or anything, it's tried-and-true...it just doesn't seem as efficient as having overhead cams to me.  |
Ok well the 4.6 market has gotten much much better but it is still maybe an 1/8th of what the 5.0 mod market is.
A DOHC 5.0 is super super rare in fact the only one I know were Gurney-Eagles sold in the mid 70's I think. Also don't confuse with Ford's new 5.0 DOHC crate motor which is still a mod motor.
Also If it was between a FOX and a SN-95 5.0 car and looks was all the same to me and I wanted the fastest solution it would be a fox cause they are all lighter.
