The mill looks like the 4-cam Cobra. Is that what it is?

If your talking about mine here are some specs:

The Boss 260 engine is a 5.4 litre V8, DOHC, 4-valve heads, a cross-ram intake manifold and electronic throttle control .
Peak torque (500Nm) arrives at 4250 rpm and peak power (260kW) is accessible at 5250 rpm.

Congrats on the new car NZ, for an out of work young lad you seem to have quite a few costly toys and habits.

 What's the secret??

It's too bad that Ford dosen't sell that engine here.

Congrats NZ... thats a nice daily driver.

Just a pity that the new Ford Fusion that they're coming out with won't have a V8...

[Carlwalski]

Thanks lads, Ford Australia is an awesome outfit.
The new model will be coming out in November and has some minor upgrades, the major being a new 6-Speed Autmoatic TF Gearbox.

Sequential shifted with six short ratios. The same box Jag and BMW use.


Yellow_Fish - I agree.

[Yellow_Fish]

Well I just took a look at blueovalnews.com . I gues we are going to get that engine WITH A SUPERCHARGER. 450+ HP in next years Cobra (GT500).

[Carlwalski]

Niiiiiicccccccccccccccce!! Pitty DC doesn't have a supercharged version of the 6.1L "hemi". :-(
That Supercharger would be a very VERY mild one to, that is only a 25hp or so increase over the stock output.

Stage 1 kit's from Vortech add an instant 115-135hp, then there is two more stages!!!! (WHOA Smilie)

They do, I think. It sounds like the lightning engine to me...............................

Unfortunately the Lightning has been scrapped (no more) (kaput).

It had a 5.4L and a supercharger, but I think it was only a 2v head. I think that the early 5.4L were push rod (single cam). It looks like the new one is dual overhead cam(s).
