It's bored out? I thought it was stroked. Maybe I missed something in the video. The data plate at the end of page 2 in the thread stated that the block still used the factory plasma arc lining and had a custom stroke crankshaft, so I thought the increase in stroke achieved the increase in displacement. Is Ford making custom blocks at the factory and then shipping them to the engine builder, since the plasma arc lining is something I thought they could only do at the manufacturing plant? That picture is also where I was noting all the development differences from (like the intake manifold/throttle body combo). I would imagine if they're basing it on an OEM architecture and trying to meet a lower cost threshold, that they'd just use the OEM block and use a custom crankshaft to meet their displacement goals as much as the bore depth allows.The Coyote is based on the Mach 1 so has the GT350 intake, then bored out to 5.4 liters.
You’re prob right, I used the wrong term, makes whole lot more sense to keep costs down. Will validate. ThxIt's bored out? I thought it was stroked. Maybe I missed something in the video.

Don't know if you want to corner the market on the body kits just yet. Apparently the body is just temporary for demonstration and mechanical testing until the S650 comes out.So question about the body kits. Are those produced over here and shipped over, or does Ford provide Dick Johnson something of a mule, and let them play with it until they're satisfied with it all? I'd love to run one of those front clips and made some calls down there which ended up getting me hung up on more than one occasion -- apparently they thought I was going to take over the illegal underground Perth race scene.
For the 2nd time, mate.
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!it is time to get Nascar into the 21 Century.
Everything is built in Australia. And as the car is a complete tubeframe chassis design, you wouldn't be able to fit any of the aero kit to a road legal / track day car here.So question about the body kits.
