No offense Faron.................none taken at all..................I am not even brand specific these days. I like my Ford, I like my Chevy's, dont own a dodge at the moment I have in the past and they run damn well too. Distributor hasnt been put in yet, After deciding to change to Injection I have not sunk that one down yet. I just picked up a Lentech AOD so some major changes have have been made to slow the progression.

Somebody has got to tell my v10 about this 20 MPG stuff.   5 is all it gets now.

I had a Crew Cab dually 4x4 about 9 yrs ago with a Kenne Bell Supercharged V-10, and it did about 12 on the freeway..................Hard to understand the 5 but I guess its possible. That was a cool rig, Dyno'd at 575/830 to the tires on 8 lbs of boost................was pretty cool tow vehicle!

My 07 shelby was hard pressed to get 20 mpg on the highway , combination driving was about 16-17 , had a v-10 as well  11.5 mpg , i know what your say ng though new vs old .. BUT an fe can make awsome hp and maybe Jay needs to make an adapter for the mod motor super chargers out foe the fe ...... Bud

Then you would actually have something, a intercooled Twin screw on a FE! No more heat generating Roots style superchargers. Drove my Lightning from Portland Oregon to Pamona california through the mountains and still averaged 20.2 MPG! Street tune was north of 600 at the tire the only major difference was I went from 3.73 rear end gears to a 3.55!

I had an engineer from Whipple contact me a few weeks ago about building a box to fit on my intake adapter, so that a Whipple supercharger would bolt on.  The box was going to contain an air to water intercooler.  I'm working on getting him some drawings so he could start on that project; I think a Whipple on an FE would be pretty cool...

I sold a SOHC 427 powered 57 Bird for a friend last year. Those engines are really wedged in there and you have to get pretty creative to make everything work. His was done with a brand new crate engine in 1972 when he pulled out a twin Paxton supercharged 312.

That is quite a job I will agree, and I loved them both.
