Ford deserved it for not making crate engines available. If they had developed FRPP sooner like GM did there would be less Chevy powered Mustangs. but when people can't find a Ford engine anywhere but can buy a brand new, turn key engine from GM it's easy to see why there are so many bow ties under Ford hoods.

Back on topic: you guys need to stay on topic lol. I've expressed my sentiments about this project and have followed it silently. Bill is a big boy and speak for himself. His response is usually "haters gonna hate" or "to each their own" which shuts people up without a long tirade. Attacking people for their conflicting views usually leads to more conflict and junks up a thread.
