He can spot a 0.167 larger bore from an external view of the engine...
Good catch - I was thinking the same thing.

If you read it, it is tabbed just above as "Shortblock Details."

And being such, would not be an external view. You can look right at the top of the cylinders. and side by side, it probably is noticeable.

Sorry TrickStang37, bottom line is mustangs are garbage. Put any bone stock ls1 or lt1 motor against one of your 4.8L v8's and you'll be singing a different tune.

Mustangs are the cute little convertible "sports cars" for teenage girls to drive and frolic with.

The only decent mustangs are the ones modded with superchargers. Even with a supercharger, slap on some headers, CAI, and a cam, a good ol' fashioned Lt1 would eat it.

Just my thoughts don't mean to be personal or anything haha

Comon, lets be realistic here. MOST Lt1's with Headers, CAI, + Cam run what? Low 12's at best? Thats not going to "EAT" too many 03/04 cobra's or GT500's. Given = Traction.

And lets not even start with how much worse it gets with a pully change.

Mustangs are NOT garbage. They are good cars and have a very strong following for that reason. They don't always suit everyone's individual needs but no car does.

yeah, and Mustangs never went out of production- though, with the Mustang II in the 70's, maybe it should have-

Point being that Ford never forgot the enthusiast crowd, whereas GM dumped us to make SUV's when they thought they could make more money-

Still, I am thinking Wards Automotive might be a little biased, or uniformed...
