Back to the original topic-
How do you feel about the LT5 not having caps for camshaft journals and having to throw away the head/cover if that ever is out of spec? Is there anything to be done about that? |

For those that see similarity between 4V Ford and LT-5, before jumping to conclusions you should look closely at the Ford 3.0L SHO motor, which shows more of the lineage and dates to late 88 introduction. Now that I think about it, I have collected the whole set: - 93 SHO - 97 Continental (4v transverse FWD) - 99 Cobra - and of course my wife is still letting me campaign her 91 LT-5 I've always figured Ford missed the market some when they reduced displacement while GM continued to increase it, although they should have been right. As an old Mustang guy I was really glad for the tech they brought forth and man the 03/04 Cobra answered for a lot. Cheers, - Jeff

I was thinking something similar...Lots of complexity for 500-700HP, for my liking. Sure 'Lots' of them out there though.....

Wouldn't catch me throwing anything like that away. Shouldn't be a huge deal to repair, these days. Never done one, but can't image I don't have a contact that couldn't make it happen....

I agree 100%. Almost anything can be repaired these days.
