These might seem like silly questions to some but i can't help but wonder.
Does anyone have any idea what Ford has done with their manufacturing equipment. I have searched all over the internet and haven't really found much information. Im talking the engine castings and a panel presses (molds ect). Were they just smelted down at the local recycling plant or is someone in possession of all this equipment? Is the R&D and engineering documents under lock and key or are they shredded? Would any other companies be able to buy this equipment and/or documents/patent to reproduce blocks, heads and other related components? Only a matter of time to they start becoming rare with people buying wrecker specials and flogging them out. Would be a shame to see this equipment and research go to waste. Americans are also becoming interested in the Barra and as such a great powerplant for competitive racing id like to see someone reproducing them. I have found this place though http://www.aclperformance.com.au
