A can of worms............
too late it's been opened!

Devo, yes the 5.4 dohc fits just. I have seen two builds using them. I too was going to use one ( I also seriously considered a LS1 too) until my engine was advertised for sale. However, in Vic you will not be able to use any windsors with the current rules as they stand.

Have you thought about using a SOHC 5.4? I think this engine has slipped under the radar, especally in BA series II spec. It now runs a knock sensor allowing 230kw and 500nms from it. It makes torque down low unlike LS1's or Boss's. It's a bit smaller fit wise and would be awesome with a blower. Plus they're alot cheaper than a Boss. Only problem is you'll get dic#heads complaining that's it's not a Boss.

Now back to the can of worms...

All this talk of Cobras not being Fords reminds me of student politics when I was at Uni. The only people who cared were the lefties. So much so that there were a multitude of lefty factions; all with their own agendas, couldn't agree about anything, content about nothing. Yes, there was a righty group but they never won elections b/c the majority of students couldn't be bothered voting at all - they were content with student life. So the lefties got all the attention by default b/c they were the only ones that did care and did vote.

Although the More Beer Party one year came close...
