What's a Voodoo? Is that the Mustang version of the Coyote? The one with the flat-plane crank and a bazillion rpm redline? Cool package!
Let me guess. You got ragged on for wanting something that revved up to the moon and was designed for higher peak power at peak rpm, rather than building a "torque monster" for a truck instead. Right?
Maybe it's partly true, but I bet they still had more power at 2,000 rpm than the original Bronco engines did! Maybe even more torque as well. Just more peaky (or maybe not), but that can be overcome by gearing.
Use the right gearing for the engine, and you can use anything.
But I was probably one of those on the Windsor bandwagon in that discussion (if I was there?) because I still think it's a great engine for our rigs.
I love power, and I love revving and smooth running, but I'd personally never use an LS even though I think they're one of the, if not THE best engine platforms ever, nor would I use a Coyote/Mod of any family lineage, or a supercharged/turbocharged V6.
But then again, I'm coming around rapidly to those ideas. Most of my resistance is not the powerband, or the brand, or the electronic lifestyle of new engines. It's still about the complexity and size!
Some of them modern bastids are big bastids!
My supercharged Buick V6 was a beast and would have made a nice home under the hood of a Bronco. But I'd rather have just a good old simple low-po Windsor-ish engine. Oldish-school looks still get me going...
But no, I'm not going to put a flathead in my Bronco. But it's been done!
By the way, did you ever find a Voodoo to put in your Bronco?
