The correct CC would be easy too. This engine should be SS only with ported heads.

agreed 100%

I guess that the same could be said for checking all heads for Stock Eliminator!

Bob, how about we both sell our 302 Mustangs and combine forces with a trick new 4.6 car? Bill and Wade shouldn't be allowed to have all the fun.

Anybody wonder where the 235 figure comes from? Think the figure just came out of mid-air? For the answer go to...

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine

The 235 comes from Ford when they are converting horsepower numbers to the International System of Units that the rest of the world on the metric system uses. According to wikipedia, Ford says the 4.6L 3-valve engine produces 315 hp (235 kW) and 325 ft-lb torque (440 N-m). In metric terms kW stands for kilowatts and N-m stands for Newton-metre. These are the units of measurement that countries on the metric system use to rate the horsepower and torque of engines.

P.S. All advertisements for the 2010 Mustang with the 281 3-valve engine are 315 hp.

That shows why all the rest of these new combos are out of touch with reality. Time to re rate them by converting back to good ole USA HORSEPOWER ratings.
