Ford Modulars are enormous engines

[Aussie Mike]

I should qualify my last statement: The plan is to replace the modular motor in Australia with a new Ford/Jaguar sourced Supercharged 5.0 Litre V8. This was for the 2010 models.

I just found this interesting info when I went searching for the new Jaguar V8. It seems Indian car maker TATA has just bought Fords UK marques Land Rover and Jaguar for $2.3 Billion. However they will still be sourcing engines from Ford. It'll be interesting to see what happens now.

I'm not a chevy guy but the LS series of engine is a much better design than the Ford mod. In my opinion the ford mod motor was a Turd in 1996 and is a Turd in 2008,

Hi Mike,
Depends what you read with regards to the replacement motor in 2010.
Could be Jag 5.0 or it could be the Hurrican/Boss motor which is the replacement for the Triton 5.4 V8 that has now ceased production. The new Boss is rumered to be based on the 5.4 with wider bore centre, increasing capacity to 5.8 and 6.3 litres. Quad cams and all. It would make more sense for Ford in Oz to use a high volume production engine rather than a low volume production engine for use in premium branded vehicles. Time will tell.

Cheers
