Here it is!!!

Ford exec confirms the existence and intent to use the Coyote in the Mustang. I just pray to God that it will not be some stupid Boss 302 special edition. Give it to me in the GT. Ecoboost would be cool, but all I care about is the 5.0!
Obviously this is not "OFFICIAL" because it is a Ford of Australia exec commenting, and not a press release or anything (I don't believe), but it is as good as can be got right now. Great news! 400hp 5.0 in a GT.... *drool* I just hope we get new 6-speed trannys all around, too.

The articles that have been written about the new 5L show it to be a a DOHC 32 valve aluminum block...... not what I had in my '86 GT, '93 GT or my '94 GT

I don't know if anyone has (or can) answer this....but how do we know this is a 302 ci motor? I'm curious to know what the exact measure of cubes for the new 5.0 is......could be a 301 or 304 for all we know.

The old pushrod engine was actually a 4.9l engine not a 5.0l. Ford called it a 5.0 to not get the engine confused with the 4.9l inline 6 used in the trucks. My guess is the new coyote will displace something like 303 or 304ci.
