If they made a GT with that motor, I'd buy it in a flat second

This is pretty close, 302 but only 3-valve and 370hp. Word is they are underrated though.

And if you really, really want one. Just buy the FR500 with the Cammer motor.

Ford needs to get off their ass and sell cars with those motors as options.

I know, don't just put them in high priced limited production vehicles with ridiculous dealer markups. You know damn well, enough of either of those motors would be ordered to be profitable if they did list them as an option.

Sure...a GT with 3 differnt motor options that doesn't quite get to the GT500 range.

They'd make a shitton

might want to recheck your history there slick.

As much as I adore first gen Z/28's and the GM 302, it certainly wasn't laying down more horsepower than the L88 427 cars...

What is the standard markup for a GT500? I know the MSRP is ~$45k, but MSRP means nothing nowadays.

A metric shitton

You still are hard pressed to find one under $50K....most sold in the $60-70K range
