Im basically down with the idea but i'm slightly dubious of the 4.6 0-60. Maybe unfairly.

The 706lbs feet of torque may play a role in that

I’ll be there soon enough after the turbo on my Suburban.... lol

I’m down with going fast but I guess Id rather have that engine in a nice semi lightweight daycruiser (they do exist if you look hard enough) for long weekends of enjoyment on the water.

I don’t care what the numbers are that would be fun. 

Yeah I could dig that. 

I like it just for the sake of how over the top it is. But I shudder to think what fuel economy it must get. For the money, I think I'd rather swap a Cummins or Duramax into one for decent mileage and all the torques.

8 mpg?  Atrocious.  My '85 C-30 Dooley easily gets 9!

Might be a few HP short of 550, though.

I wonder if the heat in that engine bay is legendary?
