The official news on the 2011 Mustang GT is not suppose to come out until sometime around December 28th but some folks in the media who have already got their hands on the info have itchy trigger fingers. Today more news has leaked out via AutoWeek.com about the new 2011 Mustang GT 5.0-liter motor.
The news they are reporting is the 412 horsepower 5.0-liter motor will have an all-aluminum engine putting down 390 lb-ft of torque. The engine will also feature iron cylinder sleeves, forged crankshaft, four-bolt main bearings, high-performance pistons and connecting rods. Another feature of the engine is vertical intake ports and twin independent variable valve timing. New tuned exhaust headers on the new engine will eliminate the need for aftermarket headers thus helping the engine to breathe better. The 5.0-liter motor will be mated to a 6R80 six-speed automatic or MT82 six-speed manual transmission.
