When the 2010 Ford Mustang debuted, there was a collective groan among the pony car faithful that Ford didn't update the aging 4.6-liter V8 along with the 'Stang's new sheetmetal. So when a few spy shots surfaced in January showing a new aluminum engine nestled under the hood of a Mustang mule, we knew the Blue Oval had something else up its sleeve – and now we have confirmation.

According to Ford Australia's product development director, Russell Christophers, FoMoCo's U.S. team is working on an all-new, aluminum double-overhead cam 5.0-liter V8 – codenamed "Coyote" – with output expected to crest 400 hp and around 400 lb-ft of torque. Christophers told Australia's Drive, "I have seen the performance curves and it is a pretty good engine."

The new 32-valve, 5.0-liter V8 is expected to be fitted to the Mustang and F-150 sometime in 2010, replacing the current 4.6- and 5.4-liter mills. With its aluminum block, it should be notably lighter than the current V8, and with the inevitable option of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making its way under the Mustang's hood, Ford looks to be bringing the fight to the new Chevrolet Camaro.

 

Sounds like a beast, have you herd anything about the 4.4l diesel for the F150? I cant find any official news from Ford.

 

i was just saying to my dad the other day how much i wished they would bring the 5.0 back. this is awesome. i might have to pick up a new mustang when i graduate

 

Seems odd. Building a 5.0 that is similar in power ratings to the almighty 6.2 you are also building, and potentially fitting both to the F150 or other vehicles...what gives?

 

6.2 will inevitably have more useable grunt when looking at it from standard n/a specs.

if the 5.0 comes back, the new body mustang will be on my list, with a glass roof.

I have decided I am going diesel in my next truck. If diesel stays lower than regular 87 through the summer, then I will really start to look into one.

 

This is kinda old news. The 5.0 is not the same engine as the old 5.0/302. It is a new design from the paper to the metal. While it has the potential of making a stock 400HP and you may see it in the Mustang GTs, don't look for it in the F150 at those numbers. Expectations are 250HP for the F150s when it hits the engine bays. The diesels are on indefinite hold and you probably won't see one for several years if at all. Unless fuel prices stabilize, and it sure doesn't look they are, you won't see it at all. With the new Omama fuel mandates, you're not likely to see any new V8 configured engines. You will be seeing smaller trucks with much smaller engines and they will be coming to your driveway with zero ways to mod them. After market parts makers are not going to be happy. Remember, you read it here first.

 

Hopefully these 5.0's will be easy to swap in the 04-08 generation.

 

Captain Obvious has arrived





It will 400hp in the Mustang with a lower tq rating. The F150 hp should be at least in the 340hp range with higher tq

 

this kills the 6.2 if at least they'd give 5.0 400 hp and the 6.2 450 or so otherwise nobody will get 6.2 cuz 5.0 probably better fuel economy

 

i can see the 5.0 making 400 hp, but i cant see the 400 ft lb of torque.

 

chances are the low end of the 6.2 will blow away the 5.0

 

I wonder how blower friendly this motor will be? I'm sure the compression ratio will have to be considerably higher to get those numbers. The 6.2 will be a better option for making cheap/easy power with after-market support.
