Okay, but that's still, IMHO, screwing over yoru customer base.

"Oh, you want more displacment then this recently, brand new released 5.0? Well, you'll have to settle for a new block. Sorry. We didn't leave any room for you to play."


Kinda like that bank commercial where the guy asks the little girl if she wants to ride the bike. Of course she does, and off she goes, kinda. Well, she's only allowed to ride in that little square after all.

This 5.0 is the same way. And just how expensive is it to reline a cylinder with a spray in sleeve? And for what? Maybe a few hundreths? Thousandnths? (<---yeah, i'm sure i misspelled that)

Anyway, I appreciate the hp wars are back, in fact, I'm loving them. This however is kinda a slap in the face of everybody waiting on the 5.0s return, the gleam in their eyes waiting to bore/storke these bad boys out to 306, 330, and other sizes I've heard of in the past, only to get told....ummmmm, no, ain't happening.
