"In search of a similar turnkey-proven package for emissions certification, Southern will employ the Ford small-block V8 that will be used in an upcoming Ford Mustang. That engine will be 330 horsepower, rather than the 300 hp of today's 4.6-liter V8, so an increase in displacement to 5.4 liters seems likely, though Kaplan can't confirm that since Ford hasn't announced the Mustang's new engine.

Using this engine provides an emissions-certified drivetrain, and includes the complete wiring harness, which simplifies installation. The engine can be easily serviced by any Ford dealer because it will be unmodified. The 500-horsepower Mustang Cobra V8 will be available optionally for another $12,000, for those customers who can't live with 330 hp. Both a four-speed automatic and five-speed manual transmission will be available."

Interesting news. $12K for a GT-500 motor, eh?
