The heads really aren't different, same casting, just revised finishing job.

I saw it was in the car, but I was pretty sure it was the 2.3L though. Either way, it should be pretty rad when it's done.

No they should just offer a twin turbo V8

I don't know for a fact, but I would think they do.

Larger valves, revised ports and chambers. Basically they took the CNC ported Boss head and used that to develop the new head. Small changes make a big (23hp) difference. The Coyote was initially rated at 412 in 2011.

probably as a replacement motor for vehicles equipped with it. You could run it with a stand alone engine control system like Accel DFI, FAST XFI or Motec.

I think they don't want people tweaking on the 3.5L Ecoboost, hence the lack of factory support. The 2.3L seems like a logical alternative that wouldn't undercut V8 crate engine sales.

I don't think the 2.0 would work, it is designed to be transversely mounted.

The overall engine architecture is unchanged. Minor changes were made to the heads (ports, chamber and valves), cams and intake manifold. They basically used what they learned from the Boss 302 program (Roadrunner engine) and combined it with the production GT coyote. So same engine.

The 2.3L will be the standard engine in non North American markets. The 6 cylinder will always be popular with rental car companies their fleets, so count on it stick around although the outputs are close.

Count on them offering a controls pack. In fact I know of one published project where a guy is swapping the new 2.3L into a Fox Mustang. 21st century SVO.

Facts are a real downer aren't they?

Nothing overrated about Mustangs and Corvettes. Both are two of the longest running production performance vehicles of all time. Both are considered icons and legends. Easily recognizable around the world. Highly desirable in countries that they were never sold in, the list goes on and on.

News Flash! Drifting (figure skating of auto sports) is not racing! It is a style competition based upon judges scores. Therefore, not racing!

I am biased, I don't think these cars are as good as people make them out to be. I don't know how to tell you this, but..... V8s, especially overhead valve, engines are simple and easy to work on. And what engine requires "ripping apart the block" for removing push rods. With the valve covers and intake manifold

If I am being laid to rest, and a hot rod Model T hearse is taking me, it better be powered by FORD!

Cheap, easy to work on, parts are everywhere, fun, and Mustang!

Big V8? have you ever seen the engine in the C5, C6 or C7 Corvette? They are an amazingly small package and that is why everyone swaps them into Japanese shit mixers. Also, how is a DOHC easier to work on than a pushrod engine?

It does capture all the cool though.
