    After buying my GT500 I watched this video and it brought a tear to my eye. Thanks to all the Ford workers that made my dream car possible.

    Nice to see old school techs that actually take pride in their work building new design

    It’s really amazing what humans are capable of doing. In just over 100 years we went from horse and carriage to this. If we all just worked together and helped our neighbors there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.

    The tooling is equally impressive!

    There's a very big and important reason why this 5.2 keeps up with the big v8s and a large part of that is the smiles on peoples faces

    It is amazing to watch how these engines pretty much hand assembled.

    I've had 2 cars with engines built there. 1997 SVT Cobra and 2003 SVT Cobra, both bought brand new.

    It's cool to see the men and women working the same assembly line where my GT350 Voodoo engine was assembled!

    Anyone else intrigued by the jigs and fixturing design?

    Glad to see the water pump is not internal and timing chain driven like on that V6 nightmare to change engineers shouldn't smoke crack. New engine looks brilliant good job.
