You are correct, at least from what I have read at work. On a side note I just ordered our first 5 2005 Mustangs last week. I wonder what the new motor will be since they are goign to have a 24v 4.6 in the gt. Anyone got some rumors?

 

I'm guessing 5.0L 32valve with some sort of variable length runner. They didn't dump all that money into the cammer for nothing.

 

I don't know what kind of motor they are using in the '06 cobras, but I heard they are gonna put a whipple twin screw blower on it.

 

That doesn't mean that they can't make some derivative of it using what they learned from the heads/intake. The EPA stuff is mainly a matter of $$$ for testing and certification. They can tune anything F/I to pass it, but why bother certifying a 'catalog only' motor. As far as OEM durability, that just takes r&d work. Something they've done a lot of with the cammer.


That's my best guess and I'm sticking with it.

 

i think it was mentioned that ford is confirming the return of the boss 302 , so i dont see how they could not build another 302 cu in motor /me shrugs what will they use in the new svt's ?

 

i heard they are gonna keep the 4.6L but only change to a Kenne Bell Twin Screw to make around the 500hp mark on the lightenings and the cobra's

 

i heard that they are only going to make cars for me.


whats with all this rumor stuff? now they are going to use whipple/eaton/kb....3 dif sides of the story, where do you guys read this stuff at? lol
