The LLN article doesn't say who's Mustang it is. Maybe it is a Ford Mule?

If GM can afford to put the 3.6 V6 in the base Camaro, then why shouldn't we expect Ford to be able to use a 5.0 V8 with very similar specs (DI & dual VVT) in the GT. Although the V8 in LLN's pics look like it has port injection.:(
