Here is what I would do:
EB V6 Ford version: 350hp
EB V6 Lincoln HO Version: 400HP. This could easily be achieved through ECU tuning and increased boost. Lincoln owners pay a premium so they shouldn't get the exact engine that's in a Ford.

I disagree, the Ford version will be available in a fairly limited model (be it SHO/SVT/ST) in the Taurus, in the MKS it's supposedly intended to be a large chunk of their volume. There's no shame in Linc using a limited-edition Ford engine as their normal mill.

90% of Ford's lineup will use EcoBoost.

Give Lincoln something different than the run of the mill Ford. Nissan does this with their VQ engines. The Infiniti model of the engine has a bit more power.
