from Jan '07 (source)

2008.5 Bullitt Mustang Preliminary Data:
• 4.6L DOHC, 400 horsepower naturally aspirated engine.
• Aluminum block with wet sump oiling system.
• Steel crankshaft.
• Ford GT type cylinder heads.
• Ford GT valve covers with special oil fill adapter on the right valve cover.
• Special exhaust manifolds.
• Special intake manifold with the plenum and throttle body located on the back of the intake, much like the original Bullitt.

Expect 310-312 HP but the 3.73 rear end with help give it some kick. We'll know for sure soon.

Yup. Basically your usual Stang 4.6 with your sprinkling of typical FRPP parts on top. Maybe another 10-15 hp more, though 3.73 gears ought to feel better.

for the motor the big question will be whether it's mapped for premium or regular grade fuel...as long as the mapping takes care of the driveability problems....to me, that's the most important aspect to the engine mods. i don't care if it doesn't make one pony more; just make sure it's got a nice crisp throttle response, from the factory...no aftermarket stuff required.

Different tune, different suspension, and different mufflers. At lease that's what seems to be so far.
