I'm not arguing with the technology, considering the first iteration of the OHV 302ci block rolled off the assembly line (exactly the way it sits in some of our cars to this day) in the late 1967 model year, and the motor it's being compared to came out... well, it hasn't even come out yet. Those new power numbers are damn impressive though, albeit heresay at this point without strapping it to some rollers.
I'm well aware of the power making ability of a modular motor, especially with forced induction. My car with only a pulley and a tune is making 455/457 through a power robbing C4 and 4000 stall. It pulls like a freight train, sounds wicked, hooks hard and tracks dead straight, with a 6 CD changer and comfortable interior, haha. These motors are all loved by Ford fans for different reasons. I'd love to be in any mustang with any motor (Mustang II's need not apply, haha). But like I said, it's apples to oranges and different strokes for different folks.
