Are they taking into account reliability etc or just the output? I know guys bang on about the old pushrod 5.0s and I`m not knocking them but the ones I have been in (stock) haven`t exactly been a ball of fire either.I know other manufacturers squeeze more hp out of smaller engines but thats not always a case for top marks.I`ll give you an example. Before the Mustang I had a Honda Accord Type R. 2.2 four banger with 212hp. Lightweight, top chassis, suspension, interior the lot. Car by all accounts was brilliant. Would pull my Mustangs pants down on all but a straight line.BUT. That was it. You could do FUCK ALL with it. Nothing. The Japs had squeezed every bit of power from it really half the `upgrades` were wasting cash.The 2V? Ok, no award winner but it was a stress free laid back V8 that could cope with bolt ons gas or a blower giving you much more power than the former. I love the Mustang. From an owners perspective and not an automotive journalists, I like the fact I can do things with it. Fuck what some wanky report says.  3vs if I recall correctly won some `engine of the year` award a while back and like someone has said, they`re pretty much related to ours.</blockquote>
