No, but those specs sound kick-arse!
The crank,mains, casting process, even the direct acting buckets.
There's nothing saying that you can't use a pcm with VVT on it inside your car is there?

Funny FAST managed to get the new 4.0L V6 with iVCT to run without an ECU that had VCT controls on it. But what does a low-post count member like myself know about such things?  The engine will not shut down if iVCT is not ECU controlled, it will just default, and FAST managed to manually move the cam gears to advance the intake cams and then get it to run again at that profile. This was late last year sometime (August or September), so by now, with the popularity of the SN197 Mustang, they have probably developed their FAST XFI engine management system to work with the Ford EDIS COP and iVCT system. On a side note, Greddy eManage (Ultimate) claims it works with the Mazda Miata 4-cylinder which uses Ford's oil control valve iVCT system.

How about a cost to return formula here?  One off custom 3.5L setup or just putting a turbo on a 3L engine? Hmmm... It would make for an interesting project engine in a car worth making more power in. Something not driving the wrong wheels that is. However there still is the "is the extra cost worth the uniqueness" factor.

Werd. Anyone know if the 2.5L heads or the 3l heads will be a direct swap? Thought not.
Then again people said that I could not use the '96 block because the bellhousing was not right. I guarantee that it can work because I have my mtx75 and 96 3l bolted together as we speak. Their is a thing called ambition.... Their is a first for eveything.
The ONLY 96 (engine) 3L
