2011 5.0 Engine Query.....
Has anyone heard whether the proposed 5.0 "Coyote" engine for 2011 is going to be the old style ignition with a distributor or, more likely, a coil-on-plug version? There are advantages to either system.

I think anyone hoping to see it tuned to 400+hp out the door will be a little disappointed. I expect to see it in the 340-360 range.
My reasoning? Think about it for a second. This engine is gonna go along side the 6.2 in the raptor. And thats tuned to 400hp/400tq. Why offer 2 engines with roughly the same performance, only one costs a premium. Unless they're gonna offer a different cam/heads in the raptor to make the hp lower, which I don't see them doing thanks to economic reasons, the 5.0 stang and 5.0 f150s will probably have about the same power output. Just my 2 cents worth of speculation.
