The 05-09 Range S197 Mustang GT500s are the 5.4 SOHC, NOT the DOHC Coyote.

Decades (plural) means at least 20 years, and the Coyote is the DOHC
they have been using since 2011, so just under ONE Decade. I am from a
family of Mustang owners, and I have one, they have NOT been using
DOHC engines in the MUSTANG for DECADES.


The new GT500, -vs- Dodge's and Chevy's top of the line Challenger, and Camaro, the
GT500 won every time.
The Mustang has been using DOHC variations since '96 (the '96 SVT Cobra was the first: 32v 4.6L DOHC), so I don't know where you're trying to go with this. The 32v was used from '96 to '01, then the Terminators used a supercharged version in '03 & '04. Also, during this time, the '03 & '04 Mach 1's used the 32v. From there, there was a DOHC hiatus in the Mustang until '11 when it came back in Coyote form (not counting the '07-'14 GT500's that still used supercharged 5.4L and 5.8L DOHC engines). During this time, The Mustang GT used a SOHC, but Ford was still using DOHC versions for use in other Ford vehicles. So, as you can see, the Mustang has been receiving DOHC variations for decades. '96 is 24 years ago. If you do not feel as if "decades" is correct because it was not continual, that is certainly your God given right.

I'm not here to keyboard fight. It is childish, unintelligent and just plain bush-league. The majority of us enjoy having rational discussions with other friendly members.
