I wouldn't laugh, they make a V8 powered JCB drag Backhoe......Check out youtube...

You'd break the thing with 500hp in that.

I don't know how many people are joking around, did you read the article? It is a car engine making 500 HP and 750 lb. ft. of torque.

I read in another article that there would be a separate tank for the ethanol but it would only need to be filled every maintenance servicing, so I am guessing 3,000 - 4,000 miles.

This was the first I heard of it. Pretty impressive,

It sounds like the info was leaked by someone at the DOE. I don't think Ford would have wanted word to come out so soon.
