The natural uses of this all-new engine will be in the Mustang GT, of
course, first and foremost. It will give the Mustang GT a much better value
proposition when compared to the Challenger and Camaro - right now it lacks
quite a few ponies. Ford will probably also use this engine in the F-150 -
possibly replacing both the current 4.6 and the 5.4 liter V8's.
Not much better than a bigger, more powerful Mustang engine. And the fact
that it's all-aluminum is a huge plus - it should help the front-end weight
bias a bit. lets not forget that 6 speed transmission is coming also, TR-6060 manual and the 6 speed auto from the Explorer Sport Trac will be used in the GT. look out camaro

That's already been confirmed, the f-150 WILL get the 5.0, because after this year there won't be any more 4.6's or 5.4's, they have been phased out.
@ Countach, The mustang is not getting Ecoboost (Yet...), but it IS getting a new 3.7l v6 putting out about 275hp/270lbft
