V6 Mustang w/ Duratec?

any confirmation if the v6 mustang will be using the "cyclone" engine for '08 or '09? i read that the Duratec 35 can be sized up to a 3.8L and become the Duratec 38. Ford has done well with these engines from what i have read. this duratec is on Wards Top 10 list. very impressive but how would that affect GT sales with so much more base power on the V6?

Probably not going to happen until 2010! The 35 is a front wheel drive set up and they don't want to spend the $$$$ yet. I also feel that Ford wants to stay away from 3.8 for a while....
Besides I think they are starting to realize that the 4.0 is much more of a motor that the ever thought possible....strong internals and easly modded.
