Exactly. Shorter stroke with relatively high compression for a FI motor making for great throttle response and revability.

As much as I'd like to swap in some brand new technology into my car I know it'd be extremely difficult. Motor swaps are becoming increasingly difficult as technology advances and thus requires the swappers to have extremely good knowledge of the electrical systems controlling the motors. Especially as theft deterent systems become more complex. It sucks and I hate to say it but I don't think there will be any more grassroots motor swaps for the next generation. Everyone that wants something crazy is going to have to pay a lot to have it done professionally or go to school for four years to figure it all out.

All that said, I'm fairly sure that I'd like my next project car to be a carbed 427 Shelby Cobra.
