Thats really great Tom!

Btw i had a 2014 extended cab 4x4 with the 3.7L and it was a solid work horse. 80k miles, no problems but was not great with a trailer. That being said, i flogged that truck and frequently overloaded it and it always did the job.

Impressive. Mustang I assume? Pictures?

15 years old, now with all the stuff you can just walk into a showroom and write a check, my old Termi is it is nothing special. Fast enough for an old fart.

Nice. Great looking engine compartment. 600 hp is serious power.

Mine's a 2010. At that time, the 4.6 V8 2V seemed to be the best deal overall. The V6 of that era is rather high revving. I can go at interstate speeds and stay below 2000 RPM. At any rate, it only has a bit over 35K, garage kept, and wouldn't make economic sense to trade for a little better performance.

My stepson has an 4.6L 2006 (135 K)and we plan on running it into the ground. We had to put a 9.75 rear end into it.

Also eats suspension parts and brakes. Runs ok.

The 3.3 also benefits from dual injection, direct and port. Wont have sny issues with intake valve carbon build up like DI only engines.

That has been a problem with the EB's and why I favored a V8. Part Pricing on EB is more than V8, at least in the first years of production.

I used to think so.
A Jeep, even. Hook up is stupid.

How small an engine would you except in a truck?
