Oh yes, the 5.0 is back.

Time for a new car in 2 years. 412HP, the Camaro can suck on that.

Ooooh thats pretty.

This can only get better from here. High performance pony cars? Yes please!

I never thought I'd say this about a Mustang but... Me Likey.

Bore?...Stroke?...Rod length?...Cam lift and duration?...Compression ratio?...

I need internal dimensions!!!

Very nice, even with the lack of specs in the press release me likey too!

LSx is still the answer.

I was going to shout "BLASPHEMY!" but then I did a bit of resarch on the LSX and yeah that's a well designed block; six bolt mains, six head bolts per cylinder, siamese bores and it's rated for up to 2,500 hp. I was unaware that the lsx block was cast iron, I thought all LS family engines were aluminum.

Some LS are iron, some are aluminium.

So what's the deal on this MT-82 manual vs the TR-6060?

Btw, the 5.0L engine is a beautiful engine.

I am in love, and I might be able to afford one by then! Penny saving begins NOW.

I have been a fan of the 5.0 since I started liking Mustangs.

bang for the buck motorsports is coming back baby!

Funny, it looks like a Yamaha SHO engine at the intake.

Exactly what I was thinking.

engine cool..

car m3h.

I just don't like the new looks. I liked the 2005 better.

Why wait? The 5.0 "Cammer" has been out for a couples years now I think. The price tag seems excessive; so the one that comes in the mustang probably wont have all the goodies.

what is not to like? Some polish on those intake runners and it would be a stunner

Couldn't agree more. The new body (2010 model?) is a huge step backwards. The previous car looked great.

5.0 on the Fender of a Mustang GT just feels right.

It looks like they left the clay out in the sun and it melted a little bit... (guess they had to bring it closer to "blob" styling)

Is it just a coincidence that the "new" engine displaces five liters? I doubt it. I suspect that they said, "We want to use the 5.0 badges again. Design us an engine that fits".

The '10 looks good from the front and sides, but the back is a disaster. Camaro SS still has more power (422 vs.412) and the pushrod valve trian will be easier to service. Now its a fair fight though. The V-6 car has some good upgrades too.

Yes, and the engineers wanted it with a ragtop that goes down so their hair can flow. And when driving said car there should be girlies on standby just waiting to say hi.

But would they stop?

No they would just drive by

Some LS are iron, some are aluminium. Joey

It gets confusing because there is a block available from GM for racing called the LSX. We typically say LSx (note case) to mean all Gen III and IV chevy V8s, which, as you pointed out, come in both aluminum and iron. The LSX block is only iron.
