Seriously. It has been out for a million years. I can't think of a better candidate for an American small block.

Yeah I'd love to see a Pious with a Boss crate motor, or even an SBC. Nothing more fun than flaming the greenies.

6.2l twin-spark, 2 valve V8 turning out 400hp stock ...

Nothing wrong with that!

Except the question what Hp-figures that could turn out if it were a 6.2l twin-spark, 4 valve V8 ... come on Ford! Torque is great ... but how about having some revs with it?

I'm fairly confident a DOHC version will follow if Ford history is anything to watch.

A 3 valve version is a good compromise, and they can keep the twin spark plug design.

But the current gen's Mustang have a 3 valve 4.6L V8 already, so they don't need to spend too much on R&D if they went with that design.

I for one am disappointed in you Europeans. Had this article been posted here four years ago, oh! how it would fill up with snide remarks regarding HP/liter, how if you glued four Twingo engines together it would make more power or something asinine and ignorant, American defeatists saying how much they hate their country and want to leave but never do...oh how I miss the days of old.
