A lot of people call the Duratec Dookie to you know. It's all on how you build it. BTW thanks for bending my rim last time you were here Hightower.

Not sure if you're still considering the Duratec V6 w/ Lincoln LS tranny, but you should know that the tranny can't handle much more power. For instance, the 286hp that the 3.9L V8 in the LS would be too much for it. Thought you might like to know this as you'd have to beef it up if you're going to be adding more power to a Duratec.

The lincoln LS 5speed manual transmission is the one in discussion. You are comparing it to the automatic shiftronic trans or whatever it'c called in the LS 8.

Yeah, what Keyser said. What tranny are you talking about? Are you saying the Getrag 5-speed manual is weak?

IIRC that was one of the reasons Ford gave for why there would be no MT V8 LS.

I seem to recall the same thing.

Exactly. You could try it, but the durability just isn't there.
