      @@Prestiged_peck What confuses me is how much r&d went into producing a far superior frpp svo 2v casting borrowing mostly from the NPI only to go backwards in performance creating the PI. They had a 2v head with 190cfm of intake flow stock that could maintain decent compression and even despite having fewer intake manifold choices most of which were crappy at the time, still produced fantastic power. I just dont think they wanted to compete with their own sales of higher trims like the cobra. Same reason we didnt get the explorer intake on a base gt. It kept the cheaper pony cars in a class of their own while the cobras swing up at the bigger displacements offered by gm.

    Torque is a function of bore and stroke. Engines convert fuel into torque. Horsepower is a function of torque and rpm. Once people solidify that fact in their mind, the tests make more sense. And of course there are variables that can shift the torque curve. Referring to your younger and less experienced enthusiasts.

You can stroke the 2v to 5.3 and with the right heads and cams setup it'll make as much power as most 347 setups. Cams cost little more because 2 vs 1 but otherwise most other mods are similar other than you need a dart on the Windsor adding 2000+ dollars to it.

    I love the comment "every component of the 5.0 is limiting." Thanks for showing us that 302 or 4.6, both have plenty of potential. Multiple generations down the road with the Gen 3 Coyote out the 2V gets very little respect. Too often when you're considering a car with 4.6 2V or 3V the reaction is no, don't do that they're junk. Without traction control 400hp from any source has the potential to get you in real trouble if you aren't careful and in possession of a little skill.

Not only would the m112 be good for the power level he's trying to get to you also open yourself up to all the superior pd blower options available for the terminator that isn't available for the 2v if you ever wanted to build the bottom end and go nuts.

    I have a project Bronco I'm in the process of building. It's a 89 with a 5.8 V8. I've been debating on building up the stock engine or coyote swapping it. I eventually want to add boost and spray for a drag setup. For now I'm just going to stoke it to a 408, put some better heads on and go from there. My questions are is it worth spending the money on stroking the engine and will it be able to handle boost and spray after I do? Or should I just do the swap and build up from there?. Fords are definitely more complicated than LS/LT engines I can tell you that but I refuse to cross brand my vehicle. I'm an American and I love all American brand muscle cars and trucks so I don't have a favorite. My Tahoe will stay GM, my Bronco will Stay Ford, and when I get a Mopar Truck it will stay Mopar.

Theres also the compression bump going to the pi heads but thats not hugely responsible for the power gains offered. Not only can the npi fit a better cam spec, they also dont spit plugs like pi heads do, and have reasonably good flow without porting when you address the single angle valve job they boast. Johnny went 12.98 in the quarter mile equipped with renegade npi heads, stock pi cams, and a stock pi intake manifold at stock compression through a 4r70 auto. At 3700lbs, i cant find a single pi 2v na running those same times in that chassis.
