Yep, but it's been said to end up as an uptrim level engine. While a N/A Cyclone engine could be one of the following:

The Duratec 35 Cyclone from the Edge is stated to put out 265hp/250lbft.

The Duratec 37 Cyclone from the MKS is stated to put out 275hp/276lbft or 272hp/269lbft when sourced from a Mazda 6.

This isn't anything to sneeze at, so even the battle of the V6 cars could get interesting. Not to mention a V6 Mustang may not even rise in price if they move to the cyclone engine. Could be the rationale for GM's pondering another engine choice for the base Camaro LS..

Interesting conjecture..
