[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 15700662, member: 7047"] I posted some time ago about Ford's Union Contract at the engine plant including language about the 5.2 being continued and about the Super Duty 6.2 getting a new displacement derivative. Being Ford I'd imagine it would be smaller than 6.2. Ford has been on a weight savings kick so there's a fair amount of chance it will be an aluminum block for the Super Duty. Even if it's not they could have an aluminum variant for Mustang. Custom cams and tuning plus boost gets them to 750+ in the least costly way as Super Duty budget would take care of almost all of the development costs. Just the custom cam designs, tuning, and durability tests would run on the new GT500s budget. So it's feasible. Ever since '96 and especially since '07 MY the superlative Mustang model has always had a substantially different engine than any lower model. A Voodoo or Coyote may lack that level of differentiation they're looking for. Ford has already played around with the 6.2 in a Mustang (Project 777) and S550 is the first chassis changeover since then. That's why I still think there's a chance we seee an entirely new engine in the new car. Assuming Ford hasn't axed the entire project due to Wall Street pressure... [/QUOTE]
