Seen every episode. They're just NOT Ford guys, whatsoever. Dodge sponsorship aside, you almost never hear them praise anything Ford has ever done. When they split this 5.0 down the middle from too much boost, it'll be Ford's fault.
Uhhhh........... Hot Rod?
Despite everything that has happened w/ Ford,...there is still the same SBC in everything/ 69 Camaro is king mentality at that magazine that has always been.

Yikes man, talk about a fun suck.
To everyone else that enjoys this, spoiler alert...that stock 5.0 with a powerstroke turbo made 500hp/500tq at the rear wheels, block intact.
That's a cool episode but only because of the Rotsun, it's too bad they had to dis' the Mustang so much. What do you expect when you get a beat up POS and then burn the clutch up?
But that's just what roadkill is though. Dealing with POS cars and beating the ever loving piss out of them having fun. He did praise the 5.0 setup in the Rotson.
I certainly didn't think that grey, oddly painted GT was anything special. In fact, I wish I could find a cheap 5.0 just like that for short money to not give a flying fart about and do stupid things like that.
The 5.0 made the rotsun straight rip. My only gripe about the show and others like dirt every day or hot rod garage is they tout a low buck build but then throw 8-10k in goodies and donations at it. I think the muscle truck and the general mayhem(pre-hellcat) were the only projects keeping the budget build racer in mind.
