Pretty badass video, but it was also done by Ford. Not saying what they did wasn't badass, but I'd bet an LS engine could do those same things.

level it, and put some real tires on it and your good to go. BTW I also heard they are having bearing problems. 1slow01Z71 told me about the engine problems, supposedly all over the forums...

...Just like most every other engine ever made.


You have to go above and beyond to prove your product is equal in order to sway people's opinion.

Yeah I read that. That and complaints about direct injection are the only things I have been able to find so far. I've heard nothing about bearing failures as of yet.
