Thanks for posting up the pictures guys.
It is interesting that the 5.0 looks to be more compact than the current 2v or 3v 4.6l. Either they changed the angle on the banks or made the cylinder heads much more compact. Maybe both?
Honestly, I'm just waiting for them to put the ecoboost 3.5l in the mustang. Ford should have no problem offering that engine with 400hp, plus it weighs less than the V8 and gets MUCH better mileage. I've seen numbers somewhere saying that ecoboost engines (the 2 4cyls and the 6) will be available in 90% of the model line up by 2013. You've gotta love boost. I'm sure it will easily make more torque over most of the rpm range than this 5.0. |

The 2011s are going to be one crazy stang. Hmmm, maybe I can trade in my car and get a good deal on a 05-09 when the 2011s come out. I think a lot of people are going to be trading in for the new stangs. |

personally, it seems dumb that either of these engines would be designed in a market like this to be used in only one model of vehicle. i would imagine (hope) that the 6.2 or some variation of it will find its way into a special edition mustang. and than the 5.0 will probably replace the 4.6 all together, and get put into explorers and Lincolns. designing an engine isnt something that is cheap or easy. they have to make the development investment back on it somehow.
plus "THE BOSS IS BACK" that is cast into the intake valley leads me to believe there is something up Ford's sleeve on this.

The main purpose of the 6.2 is to replace the weak 5.4 in the superdutys. They need a stronger motor for the superdutys and the 5.4 is all but tapped out without a blower. The 6.2 is suppose to get as good as mpg as the 5.4 with a 100 hp and 75 ft-lb increase. Go look at the 2011 superdutys as the engine is confirmed for these trucks as well. I have not heard anything about the 6.2 going into the gt500's all that is speculation because it is a larger motor. I've heard of a 5.0 twin turbo for the gt500 or a supercharged 5.4 dohc all aluminum motor is probably more likely scenario. |

yes, the Raptor is an SVT vehicle. and the GT500, while it says Shelby on it, has a SVT badge with engine builders signature on one of the valve covers. |

SVT is up and running still, they just dont build as much as they use too. |

I hope we see the new Boss in passenger cars before this modern golden age of muscle comes to an end. Too bad it didn't come out several years ago as I think it was originally planned, back when it was still called the Hurricane.
Even better would've been if Ford had started development of the Modular in the 70's instead of the 80's or had tried to squeeze the old Windsor for a little longer and waited till the 90's. We might have seen this motor much sooner. Ford started developing the Mod at the absolute low point of optimism for large displacement, performance engines in the future - it looked like emission and mileage requirements would force displacements smaller and smaller.
They really hemmed themselves in for future expansion with the tiny bore spacing, the only way to get significantly bigger was to add more cylinders. As I recall, the reasoning for the tiny bores & long stroke was for intake charge, combustion and emissions reasons and better torque at low to mid RPMs. What they accomplished is actually pretty impressive as I think in some applications the 4.6l qualified for some of the low emission vehicle ratings. I don't think they thought we'd ever see 6L+ engines in passenger cars again, or even 350 cubes so the didn't leave any room to grow as that would've been unnecessary size and weight. Then Chevy comes along with the LS series later in the decade once it looks like the sky isn't falling anymore and proves that larger displacement engines can still meet emissions and mileage requirements while making serious HP.
What happened to the rest of the Modular lineup they envisioned when it was introduced? I remember the tech articles talking about I4 and 90 degree V6 Modulars in addition to the V10 we did get. Anybody else remember that?
Anyway, looks like Ford's taken what they've learned from 2 decades of Modulars, corrected the biggest flaw in the Modular - it's lack of displacement - and have built a completely kick-ass engine. I like that Ford is sticking with OHC, Chevy with the traditional small-block arrangement and Chrysler the Hemi - keeps things interesting.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
