Thought it was only the 2008 Boss? Did it change again?

 

[mr.bubbles]

ya, last time i heard it was only going into the boss for 2008 , but a de-tuned version would be offered for 2009 when they do the re-design

This months Motor Trend has the 2008 GT getting a detuned Hurricane 5.0.....hopefully it will come to frutition.

power numbers?

 

[metroplex]

The detuned Hurricane is a 5.8L while the F-series will get the full 6.2L Hurricane.

We might think of trading our 07 in once the Hurricanes come out in the GTs.

So it's a 5.8, not a 5.0? Amazing what a little future competition will do...

i don't think there is much worry on their part. the 08 gxp will compete against us nicely. i wouldn't get your hopes up until the redesign. the bullitt for 08 will just be a warmed over 08 gt. with badges and cool wheels, etc.
the 08 f-150 was rumored to get the 6.2, but that isn't happening. not until 09. special edition stangs will get the good stuff, not the GT. maybe a 5.0l 3v MOD for the gt.

I am going to wait at least 3 years for everyone to beta test the Hurricane engines before buying one. The 4.6/5.4 3V V8s were derivatives of the modular engine first introduced in 1990, yet some engines still have problems with burning engine oil to this very day.

I agree.
