"Under the hood: Ford Racing crate 460 SVO 486 hp/ 500+ ft. lbs torque (very street friendly); aluminum flywheel, Canton 10 qt racing oil pan, MSD ignition and billet distributor, all braided stainless steel hose, aluminum intake manifold and Demon carburetor with breathtaking throttle response. Tremec TKO 5-speed gearbox. Jet Hot Coated headers and sidepipes." |
The motor in question was offered by Ford as the perfect "DRAG RACE" engine. As such, it's primary usage is not what I would call "street driven" friendly.
