More news supporting a DOHC 5.0 is on the way

[Nino]

Autoblog just posted a news clip that supports the rumor that the Mustang will be getting the "Coyote" 5.0 liter V8 with 4-valve heads. Power is rumored to be around 400 hp with equal torque. Sounds like a Boss 302 is on the way!

I wish they would do a better job of uncluttering the engine bay. All those hoses & cables take away from the aesthetics of the engine.

^^^yup...

wonder why they went with the single throttle body instead of the twin throttle body like on the 3v's???

Notice they also went with an aluminum intake instead of composite.

kinda looks like an LS1 a little bit.:dunno:

I think most V8 engines will start to look very similar as the optimum configuration is realized by most makers. We've already started to see that happen with the 4.6L 3V.
