Al block confirmed for 2011 GT500

Though the 5.4 liter supercharged engine is still listed so it looks like the GT500 or Cobra will still have the 5.4 powerplant… ALTHOUGH it looks like the new 5.4 will be ALUMINUM!!

Apparently all the bottom-end bearings and head bolts for the 5.4 have reverted to the Ford GT part numbers!

competition drives performance. I'm curious to see if this will keep up with the vette since they're getting down in weight.

I sure would like a convertible one to cruise in. The aluminum block is worth waiting for.
