The Mustang's power is speculated to be ramped up by the time the Camaro comes out to around 350 hp, so the L76 would work much better than the 5.3L.... just my 2 cents.
Nope... 5.3L DOD is not strictly a truck engine... the aluminum block will be in cars as well. This should give the consumer what they want, a wide range of choices in a V8 engine.
