Mustangs should obviously be getting these engines. He mentioned it is a direct injected TT 6 that runs off of 87 gas and gets full torque from 1500 rpms to 5500 rpms. It sounded like a pretty good engine. He never mentioned anything about the 5.0 engine and said the Ecoboost should be their main engine in almost 90% of their cars, whether it be 4 or 6 cylinder.
They did, it's on autoblog, I would post the link but I'm sleepy
