Rumor Mill: Return of the 5.0 Powerplant

[steele501]

I know this is kind of an old rumor but the folks at stangnet.com have brought this back up. not sure what rumormill they got this info from, possible this site...

the specs match exactly what forum member "fourcams" has been preaching for awhile now.

The word out on the street regarding the next Ford Mustang engine lineup is that the 5.0 liter is set to return very soon. Dubbed the "Coyote", this speculated engine is a TiVCT 32v motor, producing 400 hp / 375 tq, is an aluminum block, has a 11:1 compression ratio, and the top end is capped at 7,000 RPM. Some sources say that this new powerplant will replace the current 3v 4.6 liter found in the 2005 - 2009 Mustang. Rumblings also indicate that this motor will be crafted at Ford’s Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario. The only jagged edge on this dreamy cloud is the strong compression ratio: many Mustang fans of contemporary times love to run boost on their stock components. If the Coyote comes to fruition, we could expect to see more bottles of giggle gas at the track and less whining...from the Mustang at least.

Rumor Mill Rundown on the "Coyote"

What are y'alls thoughts?

sounds pretty good to me. just get some low compression pistons if you need the whine. hell, you'll need to go built if you want to make serious power anyway. ford's motors almost always have a weak spot in the rotating assembly.

just not the same as the go ol push rod 302....

yep, it'll have close to 200 more hp:bash:

 

[Grey03Cobra]

That would be great if true...catching up to the HP of the 6.0 LS2 motors.

 

[ShakinSteed]

Good more displacement

Am I the only one that thinks the code name is f'n lame? The 82-93 Mustangs had a 5.0 and were called a Fox. Now Ford wants to bring the 5.0 back in Modular form and call it a Coyote? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sounds badass. Hopefully it can sound like the old hatches with the off road h and 2 chamber flows.

Fox referred to the chassis, not the motor. :shrug:

Ford released the 82 Mustang GT, a fox body, saying that "the boss is back" in a time where Ford wasn't doing too well. Now Ford is trying to release a Coyote Mustang with a 5.0 during a time where Ford isn't doing so well. History DOES repeat itself, Ford failed again and now they're hoping to use past success that was seen with the fox body for future gains.

Do you know for certain that coyote a code name for the engine or for the 2010 Mustang?

Even though the 2010 Mustang is still on the same s197 chassis, it's still a new generation of Mustangs. Fox Body = 79-93, SN95 = 94-98, New Edge = 99-04. All were on the same chassis with different code names. S197 = 05-09. How much you want to make a bet that Coyote will be the code name for 2010+ Mustangs?

Pretty sure it's just the code name for the engine. :burnout:

And I will wager 5 e-dollars. :lol:

if ford gonna make a 400hp GT, they can call it the "pooper scooper" for all i careepper:

 

[Grey03Cobra]

Isn't this pretty much the same motor Saleen puts in it's Parnelli Jones edition? 5.0 400hp 3v.

You got it all wrong... they were called fox bodies because of the body not the engine. Those were 302 Windsors. Just like the made the 335 Cleveland. The name Coyote fits it just fine.

4v > 3v.

 

[Ry_Trapp0]

well would you look at that? if these stats are correct, fourcam was right the entire time. what a suprise.

I got it all wrong? Last time I checked there hasn't been anything official released about the 2010 Mustang other than some really bad spyshots that do nothing to make the car look appealing. So let me ask you something. You know for certain that the term coyote will not apply to the 2010 Mustang as a whole? And how do you know this?

Ladies and Gentlemen, PhLoBuS knows all the inside info about the 2010 Mustang. True story...

Amen brother.
