Bob , it ain't my car ... that said , this guy has been building motors
for years , been down the turbo road and didn't like the lag . I'm pretty
sure he knows what he's doing . His latest build is supposed to be able to
turn something like 14,000 RPM's - I didn't know a V8 could spin that fast !

I just didn't want you to get blamed if the results of the project didn't turn out as the customer wished, and he was looking for a scapegoat.
As far as the 14,000 RPM goes... While the 5.0's 3" stroke is short and good for some R's, 14k is certainly not going to be your granddad's pushrod 5.0 Mustang engine. LOL
Sounds like he somehow scored some Coates Spherical Rotary Valve Heads. (I'll make a new post about them)
