The chassis I am not impressed with but good to see push the that v8 to close to 100hp per liter and a crazy redline. Might be a great alternative to all the other ls1 swaps people do if ford sells it as a crate engine.
Modern Ford V8s are too large to be swapped into most of the cars that a LS fits. The DOHC heads take up a lot of space. This is why you don't see coyote engines in a 65 Mustang or fox body. Chevy refers to the power vs physical size as power density.
