Yes OP you are 100% correct. There are plenty of Mustangs whose panel gaps are spot on so itās not bad tooling or poor tolerances. Itās poor assembly line practises and shitty QC. Ford have been banging on about quality being job no. 1 for at least twenty years to my knowledge yet here we are in...
Farley himself said it ā increase quality and reduce costsā. On the face of it that statement appears to be a two pronged approach but looking deeper into it, increasing quality in and of itself means reduced warranty claims = costs. However, given that Fordās historical quality control has left...
No price increase on Recaroās, Appearance Pack,
Auto transmission etc. All items which if inflation, Global Supply Chain issues etc were the reason for the increase in DH price, should also be affected ?
Or maybe Ford took a look at the number of buyers who paid ADM for their Mach 1, GT350, GT500 and thought ā Yeah, weāre having a large slice of THAT pie.ā
Yes, I get all of that. What I was saying is, thereās no displacement connection, no visual connection and no homologation connection. At least the S197 Boss 302ās had a similar displacement and were track oriented. If they were to use it then just call it a Boss 445.
Displacement is the only similarity. I would have no problem with Ford installing it into a Mustang as unlikely as that seems, but to call it a Boss 429 would be scraping the bottom of the heritage barrel. The Boss 429 is a beautiful engine worthy of a display on its own. Godzilla is not even...
