The shock factor would be cool. The wiring would be an absolute nightmare. Switching gears a little, I bet you could get the 5.0 into a newer Whale that already has DBW, etc. That would also be pretty sweet.

should be a bolt-in swap on an aero+ since it's pretty much the same dims as a 4.6L. Clearance for the DOHC at the heater plenum would probably be the only issue.

is it possible to upgrade that to a real throttle cable? I've never felt comfortable with the concept of DBW.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I am on my third car with it. You don't notice any difference. It's pretty much required with stability control and the other mandated bullshit.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)

Hrm, I dunno. I *think* I drove a vehicle with DBW once. A late model Chevy Suburban.
If it wasn't drive by wire, then it had the WEIRDEST feeling throttle I've ever experienced. It felt very unnatural, and I wondered if it was because of DBW...1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 2-door Coupe - perpetually "sort of" for sale...

I've been wanting to take a CVPI and drop the Coyote in it, thats what Ford should have done with the Vic IMO. They could have kept a trusted and respected platform and given it more horse than a Hemi Charger with a motor that wouldnt require much change...its a win win. I cant imagine a CV with over 400 horse, that would certainly earn the name Police InterceptorOriginally posted by tjc78 View Post
