There have been multiple posts, and even a full thread on how the 4.6 will be cease production, and, therefore, the 4.6 will not exist in 2011. he also reported that the 5.4 would cease to exist, but we see now that it is just the iron block 5.4, the aluminum 5.4 that the Ford GT used will be the engine in the 2011 GT500. Oh, and there will be 6 speed transmissions all around. 5.0 is the new GT motor. Period. 400 horses, 5.0, 6 speeds. A Ford parts guy found the new engine and 5.0 badges in the 2011 mustang parts catalog, and there was no 4.6 anymore, I believe.
Besides, it would cost a lot more to have production lines for 2 completely different engines. This way they just have to pay for one production line. It is more cost efficient, and what the people want. Win win and a no brainer.
