Ford and the Cobra R

I disagree. Ford has a concept car that has just that. The engine is too heavy and large. The dynamics of the car are all screwed up and as a result its only a bit faster. The better options are the FRPP intake and heads on either a 4.6 or 5.0 modular block. No more weight and MORE power then the lightning motor. Ford has this too, and it works extremely well.

The third option (which is available in Australia and probably other places) is the 4.6L Cobra block with lightning pistons and roots blower. That works very well.
