Modified cam profiles..if they got 229FWHP with the 3L then about 267 FWHP (320 HP crank) with similarly prepped 3.5L..
Well, seeing as how they will be custom pistons anyway (doing it with bore and not stroke just for conversasion sake), they could make the compression ratio what ever they want. Knowing Sho Shop, the new engine would require more head work and *need* more air flow too so head work isn't out of the picture.
Hummmmm... Ford Zetec rods would be a tenth of an inch offset grind... 1.9 CVH would be over two tenths offset grind...
