Default Auo tech internship

I am going to school and interning there are not any ford techs in my class. The one thing I have noticed is th city mechanics seem to like the crown vics for police cruzers more so than the caprices. They stay together under conditions I am told. I would like a dohv di v8 in a prduction car to reproduce top performance.
porche is the only company that does make.

Ford has several new direct injection engines, but not big V 8's yet. The twin turbo V 6 in the F 150 has direct injection, as does some of the fours. There is a one liter three cylinder engine in Europe that gets 86 MPG of gas in a Festiva. GM has direct injection in the 1.4 L Cruize. All new features take time.
Its good to see a young guy not only interested, but schooling to make himself better. Good on ya mate!
