New Ford V8
New Falcon V8 could be as early as next year, and it appears that HSV days are numbered.

Nope, Not convinced. Says it's a twin overhead cam. Maybe just a stroked 4.6.
Ford was screwing with the Jag V8 for a while ... wonder wots going on there?.

I have a huge respect for ford engines but that looks very wide to me. As sambo said .. some familiar bits hanging off it.
I know...I know.... The twin overhead cams make it look wide .... but we are talking in a forum about cobras and engines to fit a cobra without extensive surgery.

Lovely engine HSV! I like the 'old school' look as well, with carbies or a Mas-Flo look alike. Most people see the car and not the engine but the owners probably spend more time around the engine. I guess that there is a minimum and a maximum power range that makes these cars driveable. Not sure what that is, however. The originals were lighter I think and had about 275HP.
All adds to the variety.

Your right Merv "not a pretty engine at all". Hopefully the new 5.0L will not be a similar size to the 4.6 and 5.4L engines currently on offer from Ford but a similar size to yours and mine.
Regards.
