I mean obviously to the uninformed, this would look genuine but some of us know better...btw 443rwhp equals about 530 horses at the flywheel so once again Ford is being conservative with their power figures...

And then he runs his own GT390 on there and gets 250rwhp which sounds about right given it's 335bhp rating back then...and he sounds disappointed again!! if ya ask me, that ain't bad for a 390ci V8 from the late 60's...

Things like that are obvious though. Just saying, "this engine is made here," is a different story.
