5.0L engine Spied- Great read!

Let me know if this is old news but I was doing some searching and came upon this article about the new 5.0L engine for the future Mustang GT. Definently an interesting read!

Neat! I wonder if would be a direct bolt-in as substitute for our 4.6? It could be another upgrade as opposed to a supercharger!

Hmmm. article written back in May 07. Found some forums (stangnet) in Oct. that had specs guesses of the motor

400/375 torque
7000 RPM redline
11:1 compression ratio
Aluminum block
32 valve

Better MPG than 4.6 @10%

IF what is reported holds water, job2 of MY10 it may be available. my guess is it should fit any 2010+ not sure if your thinking of 05-09

That red car was a Bullitt mule. I don't think it had the 5.0.

Lol, I like the comment on how the Mustang is a pig and needs a 400hp V8 to keep up with the Camaro. LMAO - I get the underlying context of the comment, but when your talking about the competion weighing nearly 3900 pounds with a 430hp V8 compared to what will probably be a 3600-3700 pound 400hp car it looks kinda silly.
