FPV will run with the ‘HO’ and it is planned to be 351kw with some very special body, suspension, interior touches; 18 – 20 months away.

Andrew M, most of these cars are not an issue.

XR5 focus, – got 2 in stock at our dealership
diesel Focus – got 4 in stock
entire Mondeo range – worst case 8 weeks waiting time (have you tried ordering any other imported car in a combination thats not a best seller)
and
F6X – Its only just been officially released, give it a few weeks

Chopstar……….I understand what your saying ……..but not everything is about cubes….I know they say you want more inches stroke it,and in a recent article I think in Popular Hot Rodding there was something on some 600 cubic Ford inch monster to match Chev ……….is that about 10 liters? I dont know ……..its about efficiency,look at what they do already with 5.4…….Im thinking Ford do a pretty good job with their cubes considering the 5.4 is such a short stroke engine….

Hey Oz………..HO……..of course! He has stated that it must nail everything in its class before he will release it on a track…….but I think you will see that with the new F6…..HEHEHE…..wheres my hubby Wheelnut…..

Ford had a SOHC 7.0L along time ago, but it was huge. There’s a 30s Ford V8 hot rod in Australia with one and it’s so big the motor sticks out the side.

If a Hurricane V8 will be used in a FPV GT-HO, what can I say? It will be good.

GTHOs must handle too, we don’t want an over powerd killer. Because we must remember “HO” in GT-HO stands for “handling option”.

FORD can get more power than 320kW out of their 5.4L.
I doubt they would mention FPV’s power outputs this weekend, maybe a suprise is on the way. We do know if the GT isn’t over 320KW & 570NM, the F6 will be better so it’s a killer.

Remember the Hurricane V8 will be SOHC, shut-off 4 cylinders(Like modern Hemis) and can be stroked over 7.0L. That should be ok for a GT-HO.
