In 1996, another engine was fitted: the 'Modular' V8. Ford's modular 4.6 isn't just different ... Other icons such as the Chevrolet small block or the Chrysler Hemi might have a better knack ...
One, you have a big chip on your shoulder because Ford and Chevy get all the love. Two, the Hemi is the grease-covered idol you pray to every night. But the Hemi engine’s story is one of glory ...
