Norm, you obviously know little about the 5.0. Its a VERY strong engine and can take 650 hp with stock internals. Easy. Its done all the time. Forged crank, good rods are in there.

The bottom end on the 5.0 WILL NOT take the stress and will let lose
At my buddys shop just the other day. Got in a mustang that some knucklehead hit a bone stock stang with a 5.0 with a 100 shot of nos and the crank just snaped right though the block
One thing is we can agree to disagree about the 5.0 fords
Never liked them never will
Also if you remember back in the 60s when the h/p war was on gm and Chrysler did NOT say what the Real h/p was on the cars back then There was a thing with the insurance companys whould not insure them or hit you in the pocket book
What I do not get is WHY is Ford jumping up and down with these numbers Insurance companys are not going to like this one
I would think they would be quite about it Oh well
Like I said we can agree to disagree
