The truck engine is expected to be 6.2L, while a smaller 5.8L engine is expected to be offered in the Mustang in following years. The block is also designed to have displacements up to 7.0L if necessary.

Here are some links;

I expect this response will come in the 2010/2011 model year.

The face lift in 2009 is only a delaying action to buy time for a larger counter to the Camaro and Challenger later IMHO.
Stock for stock GM light duty pickups have always pulled on Ford light duty pickups, not much concern here. Ford needed a SC to beat the GM trucks
