So, you say you're "into late-model Mustangs" and moreso, you feel you've got a bit of an "expertise" as a builder and/or tuner of high-performance 4.6- and 5.4-Liter engines.
I'm not out to discredit anyone on what they know...or think they know about Ford modulars, but I honestly think attending this year's Advanced Engineering Technology Conference in Orlando, Florida, is a geat idea. Check out www.aetconline.com for details.
After many years of being sort of Brand-X focused, AETC is all about Ford's "mod motors" this year, and boasts a serious lineup of experts for 3 solid days of in-depth discussion on 2V, 3V and 4V high performance and more.
I'll be there for the whole experience. After attending AETC in the past and enduring what seemed like endless Brand-X blather (don't get me wrong, as an engine guy, the conference is legit regardless of the brands that are being discussed), I'm looking forward to 3 days of Ford talk!
Every speaker is a highlight. A glimpse of a few speakers and topics that will be presented at AETC is on the other side of the jump...
