I have no idea where the rumor of a V6 Ecoboost Mustang keeps finding new legs.
Ford has even never hinted at the same with the last time the Ecoboost V6 and the Mustang were even mentioned in the same breath at Ford was in a survey asking people what they might want in a new Mustang back in 2005.
When part numbers were found for the 3.7L V6 and the 5.0L V8, there was no Ecoboost V6 part number, meaning that 3.5L EB is literally not on the menu for 2011.
The 3.5L Ecoboost V6 is actually more expensive to produce than the 3.5L Ecoboost, and by a considerable margin.
The first Ecoboost to hit a regular production Mustang will be the 2.5L EB four when it replaces the 3.7L V6. If a 3.5L EB appears in the 2011+ Mustang it will be in a special edition which costs more than the GT and it wont be built by Ford, although it would be a factory offering.
Right now, Ford wont be putting one together.
