[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16079696, member: 155561"] You're still not following me. If the 5.0 becomes only a Mustang engine and not a mustang and truck engine, where else are they going to share the cost as far as the mustang engine is concerned? The mustang does not share a chassis with any other vehicles as far as I know. The 2.3L is shared between the ranger, explorer, mustang, and maybe some other SUVs I'm not thinking of. The 10r80 is shared with the mustang, F-150 and the Lincoln SUVs Currently the 5.0 is shared between the mustang and F-150. If the 5.0 goes to a Mustang only engine, then 50% of the mustang's powertrain options (excluding specialty models) are specific only to the mustang; being the MT-82 and 5.0 engine respectively. That's not going to bode well for the future of the mustang, they really need to be able to spread the cost of the 5.0 engine out and the F-150 product line is the best place to do that. I know this thread is about a 5.7L engine in the F-150, but it has to be viewed from a "full picture" approach. Look how much room there is between the heads and frame rails and you'll understand exactly why. Going Hot V would basically be starting from the ground up and cost an insane amount of money.
