Hey Ken or Ralph,
Just to take this a step farther. Am I correct in thinking that the 5.8 that's in the new shelby 500 is basically the 5.4 with a bore or stroke change? Or is it a bigger coyote design? Speaking of the coyote... what is really different between the traditional mod motor and the coyote?

5.8 is stroked 5.4
