Gearing is going to be crucial in both of these.

70 lb ft of torque is a massive difference. Unless the new 5.0 adds about 40 or 50 lb ft of torque, that is still a big difference. I'm sure there will be a good bump in torque but we have to wait and see how much exactly.


I would be shocked to see DI added next year. The heads on the 2nd gen 5.0 are new, as far as I know. Unless they added provisions for DI and didn't run it for the 2015 model which wouldn't make any sense.

I agree on the torque, but d.i should be available in 2016. I dont see ford doing anything till they have to. That's just the way Ford operates.

It just seems backwards to sit on an update when you know exactly what the other guy is bringing.

Look how the heads have had the provisions since 2011, Ford still hasnt done squat about it. Also, they haven't even released any numbers on the 2015. It's backwards as you say, but that's Ford for ya.

The Coyote heads never had provisions for DI. Many people thought they did but that ended up being something else in the heads.

Proof?

Mustangs are rolling off the assembly line today and we still dont know how much power they will have

Many people thought this because it was directly stated by the Coyote engineering team. As a matter of fact, I was just reading the article in an past issue of MM&FF where the engineer was talking about the provisions for later use of DI.

The coyote engine already has good power, with DI it will be that much better...and no, I am no Ford fanboy, just pissed Ford made a "heritage 302" and Chevy didn't with the Z/28

From what I read, there was some kind of bump in the chamber that people thought was the location for a DI injector but there was actually no room in the head. I read the bump was for swirl or flame propagation. I can't find it now because all that's popping up is rumors for the new generation.

Ford built a new 5.0 because the displacement of their engines is limited by the much closer bore spacing of the modular block.


Would you be happy if the Z/28 only had 350 horsepower? Because a that's about all it would have while still being smog legal.

Here's one of the images from the 2011 cut away display 5.0's

These are the DI equipped 3.6L v6 heads.



Notice the grooves that allow the placement of the injectors. That's where the 5.0's heads would need to be "reworked".

If that was a boss for a DI injector, it looks like the injector would be vertical in the head.

I could be wrong. I just read a few places it wasn't what people thought.
