Isn't that just out of a crate anyway?But in terms of R&D, did they actually do anything there? Did they do their own ECU calibrations etc. or was that all done by Ford anyway?

FPV did the design for the interiors, exteriors and then put forward what they wanted to Ford. They did assemble the Boss V8, the block came out of a crate but the rest was all bolted into it.
