Hmmm. Well, I could have gotten a lot of this information when a 2011 model year Mustang specific part number was discovered for the 3.7L Duratec V6, a reality I posted on this forum with links two months ago.
Or, I could have discovered that the Mustang would get a 3.7L Duratec V6 for the 2011 model year when media outlets like Automobile Magazine began reporting that Ford has confirmed that this very engine will be available in the Mustang for the 2011 model year.

But then again, I can actually use basic tools like search engines folder facts like these easily, a 'problem' you don't seem to have.
To be fair though, you could have been referring to my assertion that the 3.7L will make the base Mustang lighter than the current model and improve overall balance. Again, I can see where you might think I am going out on a limb here since the only existing information upon which I could base such a claim is widely known reality that the existing and extremely large, cast iron 4.0L Cologne V6 weighs significantly more than the likewise existing all aluminum 3.7L V6.
Such a narrow focus leaves out many possibilities. Ford could be designing a completely new and significantly heavier 3.7L V6 for Mustang duty, or they could be adding lead ballasts to the 2011 Mustang to make up for the undesirable weight loss the 3.7L V6 will bring to the car.
Even more, it was equally unfair to assume that, since the 3.7L already produces 275hp and 270lb-ft of torque on regular unleaded, the newer, second generation version employed in the Mustang would at least match this. It is plausible that Ford would decide to detune an already modestly tuned engine currently serving duty in a relatively mundane luxury sedan for duty in a sporty coupe evn though such a move wouldn't improve fuel economy..
I apologize for confusing you with facts and logic.
