Defective 1,692 Posted September 21, 2019 All e series 5.0s are high output.... means nothing really, they still slow. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted September 21, 2019 The badge on the manifold could have been fitted to replace the big ugly engine cover that normally goes there. 4 screws is all that holds thatp badge on. In the states, the Explorer had this exact engine but with the top manifold spun around the other direction. There are lots of different badges that could go there, ie: "5.0 HO", a sideways version of that, and also a Mustang insignia, etc. Ours got said engine cover with "5 Litre V8" cast into it. The only badge that would suit would be the sideways one as all the other yank ones would be upside down as viewed from the front of the engine.As far as I know, all V8s were the standard 165kW except for the XR8, which got better flowing exhausts for a dizzying 170kW.Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
