On Autoblog they posted new pics of the 5.0L V8 that will be powering the upcoming 2011 Mustang GT. In my opinion, it looks fantastic! Click the pic to read the article!

Here's another view of the engine, including a view of one of the new factory installed stainless headers!

Notice the lack of power steering reservoir in the 2011 GT engine bay pic? On the 2010 GT it's located just ahead of the driver side cam cover. Looks like the 2011 GT is getting the electronic power steering system that was announced on the 2011 V6. That helps bump up power because it requires no power steering pump, which normally saps a few hp from the engine.

The other thing I've noticed is just how compact this new V8 is. Just look at all that space between the engine and strut towers! This is promising for those that will be doing header swaps.
