As cool as that appears... I can think of no good reason for that other than the mountain climber's credo... "Because it was there".

That would be enough around here

In reply to aussiesmg: It's enough for me. I like it. I just don't understand it... must have been a fan of both who just had to.

I lie awake at night sometimes, dreaming about a boosted M30 3.5 and 5 speed in a 60-61 Ford Falcon.

someone already brought a white one to the challenge a number of years ago. looked pretty clean too, i was totally digging it.

Needs MOAR s54.....

my early Falcon fantasy involves a 2JZGE, a 6 speed, and a Mustang II front suspension....

I, too, don't get it. Would it be nose heavy?

My falcon dreams include a boosted Zetec and a 5 speed with an Ford IRS (8.8 or 7.5) It could be a Duratec, but I have a Zetec.

My efi 5.0 FB is within 20 lbs of stock weight with the battery moved to rear, is the M50 heavier than a 5.0

That's because the M30 is a BEAST of an engine.

ARP headstuds, E85 = 500hp.

One M50 is cool, but two M50's is FREAKING AWESOME!!!
