PKRWUD-I was misunderstood. I'm not saying that you NEED the larger motor. $hit, I proved that to be false with my small block Chevy. I am saying it's nicer to HEAR and SAY that you have a 5.0 versus a 3.9 or similar smaller motor. No need to explain to me that power can be made with smaller cubes...South Florida Crank and Machine, a friend and engine builder, built a 2 liter, yes TWO liter, single turbo engine that generated over 800 horsepower. That's insanity at it's craziest. Call me crazy, but I would take a 600 horse 468 over a 1000 horse 4 banger anyday. I happen to like the way certain displacements sound. If I could shoehorn a Chevy 468 into my SN95 body and get some 7.7 emblems for the side.....hmmmmmmm.
Uh oh, some die-hard is bound to ***** over that one. Can't we all just get along?
