Sounds awesome Mark. Any chance of a 3.4L V8 mated to
an MTX-75 trans w/ Quaife?

I think that V8 motor is a good motor (welded cams of
course) and the trans. swap shouldn't be too
horrific-I think that the real problem lies in the
programming but if you have the resources... ;)

keep us posted. I would love to have a gen4 with an
mtx SHO drivetrain either V6 or V8. (god, what am I
saying, I hate Fords and every other week I hate
SHO's!)
