And even if it is true, the Mustangs are going to be devishly disappointed when
A) It's near the top end of the power it can make (not much room to grow)
B) It must have 93 Octane.
C) It gets heavier and much more expensive.
Someone find a source other than LLN, we've already concluded those guys spin stories.

I'm not saying that the Coyote is DI, but if we could wave a magic wand and insert 2 more cylinders into the Camaro's V6 we would have a 4.8L V8 with a bit more than 400 HP that burns regular and has lots of room to grow.
I don't see why Ford's engineers can't do the same thing, in fact I think they have a DI version of the D35 (their new 3.5L DOHC V6) that makes around 300hp.
I can't tell you what it would cost, but it can't be too bad considering the price of the LS & LT. And Ford will be able to the development cost over a whole mess of Mustangs and F150s. If the price, durability and fuel economy numbers work they might even sell a few to other manufacturers.
