Nice! Limited slip (even if it's an option still good), 300hp and 280tq.
The ONLY downside I see in the pics is that the intake manifold is the same style as the duratec motors. It folds over bank 1 of the coils/injectors and valve cover. That means any regular maintenance like plugs or troubleshooting will be a bitch for the DIY.
My wife's 3.0L Escape is identical in its setup and the ENTIRE upper intake must be removed in order to reach three of the plugs/coils. Knowing ford, there will be coolant going through that manifold to that too will have to be removed and plugged when working on the upper engine.

because if they offered all of the same options as the v8, what would be the point of getting it over the v6?
