The 'Cammer' motor uses a block with the same stroke, bore spacing, and deck height as a 4.6. It uses a 94mm piston, which requires special sleeving. The 4V heads are the same (on the race engine) as the ones used on the Ford GT, and there's builds of it using the same heads as the Terminator. So, you can drop it in a new-edge with zero difficulty, I'm sure. There are also versions of the Cammer block that are made to be used with the 3V top end, if you want to go that way. I'm assuming they'll go with this type of architecture on the Coyote to reduce costs, giving you plenty of power in a package everyone already knows.

Rather than create an entirely NEW thread about the new Ford motors and add to the 100s that already exist lol... i'll add this quote from MSN's coverage of the SEMA autoshow.





"Ford F-150 SVT Raptor XT
How do you make one of the year's toughest off-road racers even meaner? You throw in all the equipment that buyers need to tackle some of the world's most grueling race courses — the Baja 1000 and Baja 500. Like the Super Cobra Jet Mustang, the F-150 SVT Raptor XT is designed to be a factory-built, turn-key racer. That's right — you can buy this truck straight from your local dealer. Aside from having a full complement of safety equipment onboard, the truck has more suspension travel than a standard Raptor and makes 500 horsepower from a 6.2-liter V8 engine. Only 50 will be built, and each one carries a $99,950 price tag."


For those wondering if the new 5.0 will even be capable of 400hp which the 6.2l makes 400hp. Well according to this quote the 6.2l(or a varient of it) Will be making 500hp. If a 6.2l 2V motor can make 500hp NA, I don't see why the 5.0 4V should have ANY trouble.

(also considering the 5.0l Cammer makes 468hp)

Diabolical!

Everything is just rumors until Ford makes official 2011 powertrain announcements in the first week of December.

I wish I could afford a new Ford but then again that new GT isn't my idea of what the car should look like.

You're about a year and 45 threads too late to tell ppl to stop speculating and gossiping about all the new 5.0 rumors.

Diabolical!

Lol. I know, but every time I see a thread that says something about new "official" specs, I think back to about 2007 when there was a new thread every week with "official" pics of the 2009 mustang, and every time it was that god-awful Italian concept.

ThisBlood147

Yea, what an aggravation that was. The pics of that car took FOREVER to get out of mainstream circulation. Truly.......I never understood what ppl saw in that thing.

sadface

the price should be goin up nicely for ppl talking about 38k for a loaded gt right now fully loaded can go past 42k easy not cheap by any means and the shelbys are in the 50s already unless u get a base model and that is still like 47 ish

also what a IRS could do for this car a driving class for people could do better ive seen more then enough old out of the loop shoddy tech solid axes perform perfectly well in the corners

The only way i can see that happening is if they brought it out as a special edition car. Like if they threw the boss name or somthing like that on it. other wise i dont see it happening atleast not this soon
