And try to count the sensors used on this engine.
Amazing stuff. It does not sound like that much more but the M50D takes the pressure up to 2200 bar / 32,000 PSI, which is exponentially more to stressful and complicated to design. Your Ford's entire maximum pressure easily fits in the gap between the 30d/35d and the M50d.
