yeah we're both talking about the SOHC, i'm not comparing the 4L to the 4L i'm just saying that the 4L SOHC should have more power, compared to the mustang 5L which put out much better numbers... 23 years ago... and only 1L difference, granted that 1L equals a 20% difference in displacement... but with the evolution of electronics, engineering, and simply the addition of the overhead cam, in my opinion, the 4L SOHC, should have more power and torque than the 5L from the 80's and not only should those numbers be public, but they should show in actual performance...
the numbers car manufactures put out now a days don't make sense to me... there's been a few cars that are 240hp and 300 torque, pull up next to my mustang, virtually the same numbers, they are favored in hp, and have 15 years on me and probably 200,000km less on the clock, and i still SMOKE them! it honestly just doesn't make sense to me...
