I just read an article from a source called the left lane on the muscle car forum. It said they have spotted ford mustang test mules running around the streets of Detroit sporting the all new 5.0 ford mod V-8. It has 400 hp and 400 foot pounds and is to replace the 4.6 in 2010. Even with 100 more hp, it will have better mpg numbers than the current 4.6 used in the mustang. Ford has not made an official statement yet, but inside sources say the new 5.0 will be the 4.6 replacement in the 2010 mustang GT. Sounds good, I just hope one will fit into my 07, cause I'm not buying a new car to get it. I'll just wait untill one of you guy's wreck your yours and buy the engine ha ha.

Even more reason for me to wait. If this is true then I will. My girl can get her Z4 first.

That'd be pretty awesome if it turns out to be true. Ford will need something significantly more powerful than the current 4.6 to compete with the Camaro. My secondary car may end up having to be another Mustang GT

I had heard they were but I've yet to see it on their website. Anyone have a link, all I've seen is a press release that they were going to sell it?

What really makes it cool is that we'll be at 400 hp with still less cubes and weight than the challenger or camaro. Hopefully it will be all aluminum for less nose weight in the twistie's as well.

The 302 "cammer" engine makes 400hp at 11:1 compression....did this article say if its a 3v or 4v?? If its a 4v then our 3v motors made a small run in the market and with odd parts then damn looks like we're sh$t out of luck.
