The work is never done. Everything and everyone, even the best of the best, can get better, and Ford isn’t about to let its impressive winning streak (this lineup >>>) get in the way of further development and improvement.

According to Ford’s November UAW Contract Summary, which was sorted through by Auto Evolution, Ford is planning to upgrade the 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 at the Romeo, Michigan plant. And elsewhere, they are working on three new transmissions as well. According to the “Product Commitment” section, there’s a new trans being built at the Livonia plant, one at the Sharonville plant, and one at the Van Dyke plant.

This is all part of a $9-BILLION, with a “B,” investment plan that Ford has laid out for the next four years for its plants.

For a quick reminder, the current GT350 V8 already makes a staggering 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.
