Got a call recently from the guy that sold me the '85 Hatch about 10 years ago. Call went something like this -
Hi, how ya doin'? ... Wanna buy a Mach 1?
Long story short, we now have another 32 valves to feed.

It's Auto. Basically the same drivetrain as the Marauder, hauling around about 900 fewer pounds.
The Wife likes it.

Nice! I always liked those.
Your a good boy Jeff. Happy wife, happy contacts.
And you know, Ford must have known in 1989 that the 281 Mod was going to evolve into the unstressed , sweet driving experience the Cammer is. Comparing a 281 Quad Cammer to a 5.0 HO is like comparing a De Tomaso to a Maserati Kylamai Tipo 129 or Quattroporte Tipo A330 with the Tipo 107 4.2/4.7/4.9-litre DOHC V8 or perhaps the Tadek Marek Aston Martin DBS 326 cube V8.
Same kind of smooth, non cammy, none of the incindery pushrod sound. Like how the twin cam six cylinder Masers or sohc Ponchos were compared to ohv sixes.

Mass production has brought such a great engine to the massess....Fords finest quad cam 4V per cylinder engine, the 4.6 is way sweeter than the 5.4, too

Congrats! Cool car and I believe that car was faster than the cobras of that vintage. I may stand corrected but I thought I read that somewhere.

I really like the new Mach 1's. Nice car man!
Same engine as your Marauder. Now you just need an Aviator for the trifecta.
