What in the ****?

I said the Saleen S7 has nothing to do with Ford... and it doesnt. There is ZERO Ford components in the car.

I was stating a fact, no need to be a ***** about it.

yes they do!!!
they use ford blocks and headsbut from that point on they use their own components.
they buy the ford blanks and the machine them in house.

and for a fact... that saleen in the background
uses a stadard 5.4L 3V with some beefed up internals , Saleen spec ECU calibration and a blower
and thats as far as the drivetrain.

quite impressive....but i can copy and paste..

umm ..
im not quoting ....
i've spent 8 ****in hours on a god damm seminar...
pretty much got drilled in my head..
the links i posted were for verification just in case you "ford experts" were doubting a ford master tech.
trust me..
i dont need some snoty nose kid to tell me what my job is about.
the whole discusion started with saleen not using ford parts...
and i proved you wrong sebba...
so quit your whining and just shut up!!
they also manufacture it specialy for al their SVT teams and ALMS series use the same block... what a shocker...
as long as theres a ford logo on the block it doesnt matter who its made for because the block is still made by ford.
