Any chance of us seeing the 5.4 3V that is going into some of the new Falcons? Or maybe a 5.0 SOHC?

 

I'd bet that Falcon's 5.4 will infact be the basis of the next Boss Mustang. They even call the engine the Boss engine.....kind of blantant methinks.

 

It will probably be fast, and we will have no new competition. Doh.

 

also, what kinda suspension will be on the mustang? Struts all around? Will it still be solid rear axle too? If so, are they switching over to lca/panhard/tq arm setup or still using the that Quadralink(bind) setup?

 

Word is it will have the same or similar rear suspension as is on the Falcon, control blade. The previous Falcon had a rear suspension that was almost the same as the Cobra's. Front suspension is similar to the LS.

 

The Cobra will have either a 5.0/5.4 Dohc.

 

Word is out on the BON forms that the 5.0 was cancelled.

 

So the rumored BOSS Mustang might have the 5.4 (if there is no 5.0)?

 

Then the 5.4 over in ausi being called the 'BOSS", begins to even make more sense.

 

the sydney motor show is on this weekend ... all will be revealed , its said that the 5.4 in the gt will be in excess of 400hp.


we shall see...

 

It looks more and more likely that the new GT's will recieve the 4.6 3V with VCT... not bad, but probably not as good as a new 5.0.

Thats too bad about the OHC 5.0. If the rumor is true, my bets on the 5.4L 3v.

 

As much as I would love to see the now-infamous "5.0" badge on the side of a Mustang again, I too think it is dead for now.

If I were a betting man - I'd say the 5.4 is gonna get the nod. It is growing all throughout the company, and across the oceans too. Think about it... it is modular, it is tooled, it can handle torque, it's beefy, and since the Lightnings have been getting all the attention they have for the last few years, the mod-shops and tuners are already pumping out aftermarket goodies for it, i.e. heads, intakes, etc. Aftermarket is a definite plus for Mustang sales and Ford knows it.

After saying and hearing "Triton 5.4" for so many years, it's gonna be hard not to think TRUCK when I hear 5.4 on the streets in the future! When someone says "5.0", a '91 Foxbody sedan pops in my mind. Friggin' paradigms...

 

So if the base GT's will get the 5.4 ... what engine will the Cobra get?
