It's not even a 'Dyno Queen' anymore...it's a storage shed queen. Hasn't seen the light of day in over 2 years now...but it's coming up to CO in a ew months.

How's your better half? I'm hoping to get out your direction again so we can hook up for dinner and a beer.

What is the cost of the GT-500 crate engine? That new T-6060 would also bolt right in. Hmmmm! More money.

Shelby engine? I don't think you can buy yet.
$45,000.00 for the Ford GT engine, which I happen to know of one that is going into a Lightning.

As per this thread, JDM has two.

I hope we will see some pics of that install. Is the six speed being put in as well. Impressive, an engine that cost more than the truck.

Get it dyno tuned there - then go out and kick some butt big time.
Sure, but what fun would that be for the DIY'er?

OK point taken.

Go buy the JDM motor and all the goodies.
Install them yourself
Then go back and get Jim to tune the beast on his Dyno

Then go out and Kick Some Butt

I have a ware house full of them!

Oh thats right there not mine I just go back and look at them almost every day!

To the best of my knowledge the GT intake with the 16 injectors can be used you just need the 2 computers and a good engineer to make them talk to each other.

God Bless,

Suavy

Hey Suavy,
Let's see some pictures of that warehouse. I'm sure many would drool all over their keyboards...

Oh no car parts! Truly a matter of national security not to reveal the source of this pic!
