I got bored so I decided to make a tribute thread to Ford's all new 5.0l engine which will be making its debute in the 2011 Mustang. It is rated at 412hp in comparison to the 4.6's 315hp. It uses the same block but modified for much better air flow and has a new goody called Ti-VCT which stands for "twin independent variable camshaft timing". In other words every aspect of this engine is "SICK". If any body has anything else they know about this engine or the new mustang please post.

 

i have somthing to add...its sick.....even the v6 is bad ***

 

Lets give respect to a REAL engine

 

I'd love to have one of the new GT Mustangs. And, I might just end up with one once the rebates start rolling in.

 

If were talking GM now...

 

Did you guys hear that the new 2011 GT500 gets an ALL ALUMINUM 5.4. That sheds over 100lbs. off the front end. Puts the weight distribution from 57% front to 54%. In other words it turns and stops as good as it goes now. Oh it also makes 550hp instead of 540.

 

Yup, should be incredible.

 

Too many nice new cars and not enough money.

 

I have the same problem haha

 

Got that right. Still waiting on those lucky numbers!

 

All fixed for you now.

 

Hitler is pissed about the new 5.0.

 

I fixed the link for you

 

Does the new mustangs have independent rear suspension or is it still a solid axle? I can't remember if they are still solid or not. I watched a review on some of the slightly older ones and they kept saying how the solid rear was holding the handling back

 

Still solid, the way it should be!

 

that hitler vid is awesome

 

cool story, weight balance and hp mean nothing if you dont have the suspension to put it down, just like the last shelby that was gonna be o so amazing.

 

I also hear that they have made a tune for the new 5.0 that increases by 75hp or somethin like that

 

if you wanna talk beautiful engines.... 7.3l powerstroke diesel

 

Thanks as I couldnt figure it out......

 

Why do you say this?

 

The 7.3's are awesome, best diesel engine ford offered. After it got a turbo of course

 

I have an 02 F250 that is our dailey driver so I know that the 7.3 PSD is a great engine just wanted to know why you called it Beautiful engine thats all.



Oh yea I got ride of that ugly cheesey looking grill and put a new stock one back in so it looks way better now.

 

Variable cam timing is nothing special. I was tuning this for Mitsubishi before Ford had this 5.0. I had to learn how to adjust cam timing to give decent vacuum numbers with monstrous cam durations so I could get things to idle right.

 

Maybe this would be a better 5.0 for the famous 5.0 swap LOL
