[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1471810, member: 31322"] He's probably correct on a very ambitious dynojet, but w/ the type of heads/cam swap it'd take to make that power it'll lose alot of "around town manners" if ya feel me. And ALL the hardware is 4x the cost!!!! WAY WAY WAY fewer options out there too. One cam, one set of lifters, push rods, valve guides etc. lol - I'm not entirely dumping on Ford V8s - if you were keeping motor mostly stock & planned on topping it off w/ a blower - then yeah that would make sense. But if your goal is to "keep it simple stupid" & have a more trouble free engine while off the grid AND one that's easier to work on & find more aftermarket part support - then no question, you want a Chevy LSx/LTx crate motor. If ya don't care too much about extra weight (& honestly I wonder how much a performance heads/cams package would add in weight over a stock Coyote V8?) the Chevy LSX 454 weighs about 120 lbs more....mostly due to an FE block....but its just a basic brute of an engine SOHC 620hp/590TQ & a SINGLE CAM swap will net ya another 50 HP fo sho, give it a nice HD rad for peace of mind if in hot climate, but that sombitch will outlive anything else on the truck if ya treat it right. Haha - ford "camsssss" swap [/QUOTE]
