Watch Ford replace 8 of those plugs with direct injection when the HP and Torque numbers need to be bumped up.

i know a few sn95 mustang guys looking to swap one into their GT.

Will the 5.0 crate engine fit in a 2001 F150???? I have the 4.2 V6 right now and wanna put a V8. what better than the legendary 5.0. I have $30,000 to play with. I know that I should probably get a new truck but this one has sentimental value to me so I'm gonna keep it.

Sorta! Two spark plugs per cylinder but one COP per cylinder. The COP sits on the top plug and fires it directly. That same COP also fires the other plug through the "spark plug wire". It is part of the COP.
