There were literally dozens of modified new F-150s on display at SEMA with fourteen in Ford's own booth alone. But the most compelling product Ford brought to the show (besides the incomparable GT supercar) was an all-new 5.0-liter, DOHC, 32-valve version of its modular V-8 known as the "Cammer" and available as a crate engine beginning next year. The simply gorgeous Cammer was shown installed in a sweet '65 Mustang Fastback, a nearly hilarious Focus RS8 converted to rear-drive, and a flat-out wonderful 1953 Panel Truck sitting atop the FR100 chassis shown last year and wearing the brown and gold livery of the United Parcel Service.
Ford claimed the Cammer was making 420 horsepower as installed in the '65 Mustang on display. However, they didn't address any rumors that the Cammer would be the engine powering next year's all-new Mustang GT.

I saw that Focus RS8. It would be a car that you would buy for your kids as their first car. It looks slow and economical. But open up the hood and its got a Blown motor w/380hp! Same one thats in the Mustang Cobra. Not for the kids!
