I would do it just to piss people off. It's about being fast, not just an image to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the SBF 289-302, one of the baddest motors ever made. Short stroke wide bore, loves to rev. If ford had any sence they would have kept it on and improved on it like GM did. But noooo... they had to be like every other looser on the other side of the ocean and go with this wonderfull OHC crap while GM put the same effort and improving what they know already works and making it work better. It takes twice as many parts, and twice the money to build a 4.6DOHC and still doesn't have anything on the LS1, unless it has a poweradder. I know a guy with a '02 Z28 auto except exaust and a intercooled Vortec running 9psi it's stock making 509rwhp/468rwtq. He's planning on a better MAF and TB along with a cam and some heads to drop the compression and run say 14psi, I can't wait to see it.
