If Ford can build an n.a. 8250rpm 5.2 liter V8 that meets all regulatory requirements, someone could build a 9000rpm 2.0 four. If the will was there to do so.
IN any case, it's a WISH list, right? What's the point of the argument: "they build exactly THIS because THIS is all they could possibly build"? I still wish for a better-balanced lighter-weight 2-seater version... |

That’s a $35,000 engine in a $20,000 car. The amount of base mustangs sold pays for the development of the entire platform and all special editions alone.

The point: it is 100% feasible to build and sell high-rpm n.a. engines in 2020 model year cars. And again, the thread is a *WISH LIST*, why even have the thread if people aren't allowed to even WISH for something a wee bit better than what we have now? |

You just take your special color and special brakes that aren't really needed and you like it!

OK, sooooo….I'm finally gonna add my wishes in.
Here ya go: 283 cu in, 270 HP, 285 ft lbs of torque. That ought to make that puppy scoot right along. Besides, I could work on the engine, enjoy to listening to the back two barrels of the carbs kick in and, with real dual exhausts, and straight thru glass packed mufflers, enjoy the sound of a real engine working. humfrz |

If that. Many of the old gross HP rated cars made nothing like the numbers seemed. They did rock for torque though!

Cleaned out the basement last year and found my old carb adjusting screwdriver. Oh the miles and story's on that poor old thing.
