to be honest i doubt youd find any more info on it than whats been published in a mag/mags. i mean if you had your car in a mag youd want everyone to know what goodies its got to make it sound as good as possible to the reader.

if you dont have the street fords mag its in i can post the details your after or send you the mag i dont want it, not too keen on that car.
