He started by having the block bored 0.020 over and filling it with the stock forged crank, Manley billet rods, and custom JE pistons. American Cylinder Head handled the machine work, while Al sourced Pro Power for the rods and pistons. With the bottom end transformed, Al set his sights on the Four-Valve heads-the most modified part of the engine. His motorcycle background made the modifications come easy. "The Four-Valve's tumble-port design looks a lot like a Suzuki Hayabusa head," he says. Cope Racing Engines' (which built and prepared the engines for the late Dave Schultz's three-time championship Suzuki and Al's two-time championship Suzuki) Buddy Ordway spent many hours on the valve seats and ports, while Al was busy making the valves from Ferrea blanks initially designed for Kawasaki engines. Kawasaki Z1 valvesprings and titanium retainers, along with Crane Cams' reground cams, complete the valvetrain. Though the heads were easy, the difficult part came in the intake department. After much research, Al decided to make his own lower intake, which took him a month and a $3,000 investment. A Hamilton Clarke intake cover tops it off. Bolding done by me. So remind me what's stock in this motor again? Block and crank? Right back at'cha, bub.

ok what ever year the park benched winged monster came out

2000.

And the "park bench" was to get the spoiler up where it actually created downforce. Everything about that car was created for function over form, which is why it's my favorite Mustang of all time.
