Introductory info: In current factory trim this yamaha-built 4.4L V-8 engine sports an aluminum block and heads, 32 valves, 311 horses, 325 lb-ft, ULEVII emissions, and a companion 6-speed automatic transmission. No exact weight figure, but it's said to be a compact package similar to a typical V6 engine/trans.
Synopsis: Ford has announced rights to use this engine in any product under Ford's umbrella.
I for one would happily pay Cobra or Boss prices for a car with a slight power upgrade and significantly less weight up front. Would also help ford meet CAFE and product-line emission regulations while reducing insurance-cost burden on younger consumers (compared to a 400 hp nose-heavy beast).
Then I'll be saying bring 'em on to the M3!
