Ooooooh shiny.
Reminds me of the SHO engine
I hope it runs as good as it looks.

That's what the first thought that went through my head was, too.

Just like the 5.0 in my 1986 Cougar LS.
Some things never change....
Nice and tight? There's inches between the cam covers and the shock towers on both side.

Nice!
A work of art...that works.©
Looks great and puts out an impressive 412 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque!
Oh my, that would look good under my Christmas tree (okay, in my garage). I want one.

Sure. I'd much rather have a little more clearance (when I work on it) than just a few inches...

Can't wait to take one for a drive, and give it a good floging!!
Is that a 302 like from the 90's? I didn't know they still made them.

Completely different animal. They conveniently made it a 5.0 liter to get the nostalgia sales.
I will admit it looks pretty good though.

My '99 has nowhere near that much room, but I can still swap LT headers in the driveway, with the k-frame in place, in a few hours. There's nothing really that hard to do on these engines. I bet the '11 cylinder heads will come off easy with the engine still in the car.
Spark plugs will be a 10 minute job too.

Unlike the 98-02 F-Bodies where you have to drop the motor out from underneath to do anything of significance!
The new Mustang I think will really hurt GMs Camaro sales - they always have!
