:hick: You started it :hick:

The 3V is MILES ahead of the 2v. The 2v NEVER lived up to it's potential because of the lame duck development team who felt it was "good enough"

I think someone will be smart enough to develop an conversion kit to make older motors direct injection type systems. Most likely it'll be a head/cam/intake package deal with some electronics to go with it. Hell, I hope this new 5.0 is a pushrod. Imagine bolting a factory direct injection to the existing motor and getting 350+HP and great gas mileage in a car that doesn't weigh 2+ tons:D

I've heard similar things about the 3v, and I'm sure there is a dramatic difference between the two. Still, will there be a market? This new engine will probably dwarf any Mod so far (even showing up the GT mill). With this new engine being the top dog, will the people who can afford to build up a 4.6 really bother, when they could just as easily build up one of the TT5.0L? It will be far easier to tune out of the box, boosted and all, and if you're a big spender, which you pretty much have to be with a Mod, you wouldn't be caught dead building last year's inferior motor. For the rest of us, the affordable way will still be the 302. I just don't see the 4.6 having much of a place in history, all said and done.

.....it! :flame: You sucked me in.

:D But good discussion is good discussion.
