Does anyone know if Ford or Dodge are using the same process on their Mustangs or Challengers? (referring to the GT/GT500 and 6.4L 392..)
I have read the 5.0 Mustang motor is pretty advanced in it own right also.
I don't know if the GT500 gets deck plate honing, but I know they get a pretty advanced cylinder wall treatment that I can't remember the name of. There's some way the walls are coated with special material that makes it stronger. You can find it on the philley forums In all honestly - I believe the GTR borrowed this technology for it's 3.8L, too, so it's pretty advanced. I believe it was one of the ways Ford was able to go to an aluminum block while keeping the strength. It's pretty cool

LSA already has this done.
