yeah it does. but i often wonder, why they never took a detuned Cobra R engine and stuck it in a truck...minus the navigator and blackwood.

 

holy assmongers of doom...

this thing looks SWEET!

the II might need another engine swap...

 

It'll have to be an aluminum block version for the Mustang. Otherwise the car will be too front heavy like the GT500's have been.

 

A 6.2 Boss motored Mustang would still be lighter on the nose than the behemouth in the GT500. That said, the '10 GT500 has been given some favorable reviews in the handling department and I'm willing to be bet an AL/CI Boss 6.2 wont be all that much heavier (if at all) than an all aluminum 5.4 DOHC S/C. The current GT500 engine is a portly 700 pounds or so, even with Ford's propensity to pack on metal for NVH reasons, I can't see where a SOHC truncated hemi headed 6.2 is going to weigh more than 600 or so pounds.

 

That's why the '11 GT500 will be a nice ride - '10 handling with less weight in the nose because of the AL block. I think an iron 6.2 would be a step backwards. The last run of the Bullitts and the '10 Mustang GTs w/Track Pack have been good examples of capable handling factory Mustangs. It would be frustrating to see Ford back peddle a bit.

 

Ford released this pic when they unvieled the 11' Superduty.

 

Nice package.

 

I wouldn't say Ford would be back peddling if it offered the AL 5.0 along with a AL/CI 6.2, different strokes for different folks (no pun intended). The AL 5.0 and its completely different character would make for a nice canyon carver (ie; Boss) and the AL/CI 6.2 would be more of a drag strip brute (ie; Mach 1) with the GT500 doing whatever the hell it would be doing (as I imagine unitil something new comes along the AL 5.4 S/C is still going to be **** heavy).

 

I agree with you Bob. I guess I'm getting greedy. But you gotta admit, a big cube balanced Mustang would be a beautiful all around performer!

 

Looks like it'll use roller fingers like the Modulars.

 

No all I said was ..if it was ever in a car... it could be a TEST car, with NO plans to ever use it/produce it.

 

official, 6.2 in raptor 411 hp and 434 ft/lbs

 

That's what she said.


Seems like they're giving the 5.0 some room. Meaning, the 5.0 could be rated at high 300's or even 400hp and still come in under the 6.2. Of course, the 6.2 was always going to be superior in TQ numbers, but from a general marketing standpoint, the 5.0 and 6.2 BOTH making 400hp on the nose would have been interesting.

 

One of the supposed new features of the new engine block design is the expandability. Just because its 6.2L 411 / 434 in the Raptor doesn't mean it has to remain in that configuration for any other car.

 

agreed, but I wonder if FRPP isnt working on a better/hotter version with a forged crank and some more compression- that may kill the e85 but for most of us, so what

 

Exactly, somebody in the know once said...quite some time ago too..... to think of this engine as a very large, more modern take on the Rocam four developed in South America. The motor indeed appear to be exactly that, and given what that motor manages this is no bad thing since that engines two hallmarks are an amazing torque band and good fuel economy.

 

Easter egg to end all Easter eggs... found in the valley of the new 6.2L

 

That is awesome!!!!

Will that thing even fit under the hood of a mustang? Boomer how different are the physical demensions on the 6.2 vs the 5.0 if you can because that thing looks big.
