Default Hurricane V8

I was reading Motor Trend this weekend. What is this Hurricane V8 ? Is it normally aspirated? Punched out 4.6? Anybody know? Heard it could be the default V8 for the GT's in '09.

I think the hurricane is a 6.2 L. It is going into the the F series trucks first, but rumors say it is going to make it into the re-designed mustang.

For the S197, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything bigger than a 5.4 L engine.

I think its supposed to produce 400-450 Hp. Not sure though.

the hurricane started out as a truck engine to compete against the big dodge trucks. it will be modified to a 5.0L/400HP range for the mustangs. the engine isn't even called "hurricane" anymore as far as the mustang side is concerned. it's just the boss engine. that one will have at least 450HP in it.

Its a typical Ford response to the competition, too little, too late.
