[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 9046536, member: 1246"] Man, it amazes me how much contradictory stuff is floating around on these websites. I read posts where some people are swearing up and down and threatening all with the rath of God if they refuse to believe the Coyote V8 is nothing more than a poked out 4.6. Then I read other posts where it is claimed that the Coyote is a clean sheet of paper design with significantly wider bore spacing than the current modular engines. About the only thing shared is the basic architecture of a deep skirt block with cross-bolted main bearing caps. The heads are, according to some, an all new design for a Ford V8 and very similar to the 4V heads on the 3.5L Duratec V6. Because of the wider bore spacing the heads will not bolt onto a 4.6 or 5.4 block. I tend to believe the latter. And on the EcoBoost technology, some of you guys need to forget about what was true in the past with turbo motors. With direct injection, properly sized turbos and the right engine management systems it IS possible to minimize and maybe even eliminate turbo lag. And on the subject of EcoBoost performance, have any of you seen what Beefcake is doing with his tuned overweight 2010 Taurus SHO and it's wimpy little 3.5L EB? How about 12.75s at 108? Personally, I can't wait to see this same technology used on a 700 lb lighter Mustang with 1.5L more displacement. My prediction is it would perform at least as well as the current 5.4L SC and get better fuel mileage in the process while maintaining the ability to run on 87 octane at slightly reduced power levels.
