Everyone brings up the turbo motors but doesn’t Subaru make an H6? I feel like a NA 6 would have been a good philosophical fit for this car, and the packaging would be better.

Admittedly a giant assumption on my part. To me, people assume a car wasn’t good if a manufacturer stops making it, reducing it’s resale value. You can make an argument for the opposite though. FRS/BRZs will be scarce since they’re out of production and prices will stay higher. If so no big deal, I just stay on the…
I didn’t think much of these due to the lack of motor options but they could make a good daily candidate once they’re out of production and prices come down.
Try domestic cars and MegaSquirt if you think that's cool. I'm currently trying to justify a MS plug and play ecu, "honey we NEED knock tuning".
Good thing you didn’t get it. These were motor-pool queens, great idea but horrid reliability. I had to sign for several dozen vehicles as part of a training package once upon a time. These were lined up in the back with multiple drip pans under each. I didn’t have to sign for them because the contract mechanics were…

Typically if you don’t run the brake booster reservoir dry the ABS block is fine.
The correct way to bleed brakes is to use the ABS controller. The easy way is to take it to a parking lot and trigger the ABS a couple times. Admittedly the pedal is pretty hard if you have some air in the ABS block.
Its in the bag with the tow strap.
Ford Australia got some interesting modular motor combinations, and decent performance intakes as well (something ford America never really figured out). A lot of 5.4 builds in the states used Boss intakes until people figured out coyote intakes worked with an adapter.
Funny enough his 03 had faster laps around putman park than the c6 without the high oil temps and potential starvation.
I agree wouldo longer but i would be curious if it was any taller. It had to replace the 5.0 in Australia like the 4.6 did here so they had similar constraints.
It’s not a GM and fox bodies are meant to be hacked up.
The “classic” guys would be too busy glaring at the fox body to notice the motor...
I don’t believe the mustang would be better with an I6 that played runner up to the previous gen 5.4 (Boss motor to you).
It should fit everywhere a modular can go, which opens up more possibilities than you would think.
Except it takes nearly as much effort to swap as a LS so why bother. It’s got the same issue as the 3.7 duratec, great v6 overshadowed by a superior V8 that fits in the same space...
True story. My father was extremely dissapointed when he found his z51 ls3 Corvette couldn’t run r compounds without a dry sump, where as his previous lowly 4.6 mustangs didn’t even blink at it.
If you want to argue the efficiency of public transportation in the former Soviet block have at it, but the wonderful rail system just about stops after Poland fyi...
