The fusion is around 7.5 to 60 mph so the mustang should take it

How fast is a stock sixxer to 60 anyways...?
this is why they're coming out with newer Mustang engines soon

6.9 in an auto and a lil quicker in the manual.

a v6 fusion will actually run low 15s along with the 4.0s
and they would need to change the bellhousing for the tranny for FWD vs RWD so it was easier to market the 4.0 (the ranger/exploder 3.0 was OHV)

Aluminum block yes and 3.5 is what I heard.
Doesn't mean much yet, nothing is written in stones.
