It would be a labour intensive job to pull a head/etc, but I see a LOT of potential in an all aluminum, 4v per cyl, dohc engine!

I could see this flowing enough (with more duration of course) to run 8500+ in stock.
Love to hear if anyone has built one for racing. (and not the twin turbo crowd either lol)
I have a 2011 3.7 Mustang and am in several 3.7 groups and forums.

From what I have read the all motor guys are hard pressed to get into the 11's without porting the intake and going with a larger throttle body.

The key with those engines is the tune to work with that variable timing.
I suppose someone could get custom cams made but I have never heard of any cam company making them.

As posted above, I do not seeing this combo qualifying competitively.
By competitive, I mean being able to qualify for the US Nationals ( -.885 under )
