I'd love to have a ZF tranny behind this, but one of the reasons why I bought an auto is for my family to drive. Plus...there's no way I could shift as fast as this auto, lol. It is fun to drive a manual around, but I couldn't ever let my mom or sister drive this thing, they would rip the guts out of it in the first 10 minutes.

Thread revival! I was doing a search on the "F4TE" roller block, and came across this:
I find it interesting that the carbureted 1980s 351 "HO" would "spank" the newer motor! Are you saying that the 351 "HO" cam was a better performer than the newer roller "F4TE" cam? If so, why is it that Ford couldn't/wouldn't improve performance with EFI and their roller cams in the 1990s?
Conanski, do you or anyone else here know what the cam specs were on the 1980s 351 "HO" motor was?
