Question Will these heads make the Ford mod V8 competitive?
Even the Mustang racers have given up and put LS motors in their cars. Will these heads make the Ford Mod V-8s competitive? :

No I believe you have to put the whole LS motor in your car. Just bolting on ford heads isn't going to make it.

Those heads, 60 extra cubic inches, and 12 psi of boost. Or a coyote 5.0 swap and yeah....................it would be competative IMHO.

Those have actually been out for a little while now, I've seen them on a couple of 2V's, they definitely show nice gains, but the results are still quite pathetic for the amount of money spent.

The new 5.0's are more than competition for some LSx cars. I own a ford mod 2.V 4.6 but it's in my Explorer If I had that motor in a mustang I'd sell it asap and buy a coyote
