[QUOTE="EricM, post: 2102909, member: 20286"] Can't be more than 4.0L and run boost in the class th car was developed for. 5.5L was the max N/A and Ford wasn't going to make a 5.5L V8 just for the GT. The Coyote is deriviative of the 4.6L mod motor from 1996. The most reliable V8 in the history of the planet. Ford has made the modular V8 engine much less reliable as they've jacked the power from 215HP to 700+ over the last 30 years, but at the same power level - the Coyote block is stiffer and the cylinder pressures are lower than the Cyclone derived 3.5L EB engines. Keeping cylinder pressures low and having a block stiff enough to actually hold the crank bearings in place is what matters when it comes to keeping a high HP engine intact. The V6 loses to the V8 on both. Why didn't Ford just turn up the boost some more on the V6 for the Raptor R if it's that easy? [/QUOTE]
