So F-in awesome!

Where can we buy one?
I would be up for that if it was priced accordingly.
Crate motors from Summit...

They need to make a V8 - 3.3 liters 280 HP 240 ft pounds and light (should be a little over 200 pounds.) Subaru bell-housing pattern would be a huge plus. These new LS series engines are really amazing and show that overhead cams (on V8s at least) are WAY over rated. Ford has to resort to using blowers to match the power these LS engines make - NA.

Torque?

Yes, this used to be the case, and with the 2011 model year Ford has finally started to utilize its OHC advantages in the latest Coyote line (302.15 cid (4.951 L)) producing 412 horsepower (307 kW) and 390 lb·ft) which is 1.36 hp/Cubic inch.

The Corvette (7.0 L (427.6 cu in)) LS7 produces 505 hp) rates at 1.18 hp/Cubic inch.

Also the variable cam phasing on the motor allows for significant fuel economy gains and a VERY broad torque curve.

I had been disappointed with Ford's V8s for years and now, finally, they are really getting somewhere.
