Providing the all-important bang in place of those oldie-but-goodie 351s and 428s is a unique version of Ford's 32-valve cast-iron block/aluminum-head 4.6L DOHC V-8. This is the same one used in the 390-hp Cobra,

No whether it is right or wrong is up for debate. But these were the specs I found.

M/T is wrong, the Mach 1 engine uses an alumimum block as did the 99-01 Cobra. The Mach 1 engine is pretty much the same as the 99-01 Cobra engine except for different cams. Having brain fade right now, I know only 2 of the 4 cams are different but can't remember if it was the intake or the exhaust cams that changed.

If you want confirmation, got to the Mach 1 registry web-site. They will be able to fill you in on all the details there.

My personal GT Rollercoaster

I'm very happy with the solid axle on my 05 GT. It's so cool when I cut a corner fast and zip the rear end straight with the steering wheel after the turn. The GT will push you around in the seat during and after a fast turn and make you feel like you're on a fast rollercoaster..... The best thing is no long lines to stand in for the ride.....Yeah Baby.... Lovin it.

I'd love to see two options in the GT-IRS and a six speed.
