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.

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
