I think some people have been looking for something like this before. I had printed it out awhile back and came across it and figured I would post the address for it for you all. Enjoy!!!

thought they were iron...

"Ford's speed gurus started with a basic F-150 (half-ton) shortbed pickup equipped with the XLT package. As they did with the Cobra, the engineers at SVT built their own version of a production engine: A 5.8-liter V-8 was improved with a pair of GT-40 aluminum cylinder heads, originally developed for competition."

I thought the GT-40 heads were iron, not aluminum.


Still do not know much about these trucks, so be patient please.

They are cast iron. Don't know where they got that from, but then PR and ad guys don't need to be car guys.

Is the address correct? I can't get it to work. Says it's not there. Did it last night like this, too.

Thanks for posting that - very interesting. Except for the writer keeps blubbering all about how SVT engineered and built the truck. As we now know, that's a lot of horses**t. SVT just latched onto it after Ford's Sport Truck engineers did the whole thing.

Yeah, except fot the SVT bull and the aluminum heads, it was pretty interesting.
