After yesterday's not so surprising information that the 2011 Ford Mustang would indeed pack an available "Coyote" 5.0 V8 packing 412 hp, today Autoweek has revealed a few more details about the new mill.
To go along with that 412hp, the new 5.0 puts out 390 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. It also gets a thrifty 25 miles per gallon, reportedly. It accomplished this feat thanks to an aluminum engine block with cast cylinder sleeves and brand-new heads with four valves per cylinder, vertical intake ports and twin independent variable valve timing. The engine also features tuned exhaust headers, a forged steel crankshaft with four-bolt main bearings and new pistons and connecting rods.
Transmission options include either the 6R80 automatic transmission or the MT82 six-speed manual.
