PERENNIAL WAXXER
No SVO, the new 2.3L Ecoboost is designed specifically for the Mustang and will benefit from direct injection, twin independent variable cam timing, and a twin-scroll turbo to reduce lag. It sports a steel crank and trick 3-port cylinder head to deliver power and projected best-in-class economy. It will deliver more than 305hp and 300-plus lb-ft. This will breathe new life into an untapped Mustang segment, as we expect the aftermarket to run rampant with tunes and components to push for maximum power and performance.
Returning is the potent 3.7L V-6, but with more power. “It will be worthy of the Mustang badge,” said Dave Pericak, Ford Mustang chief engineer. But the big gun remains to be the popular Coyote 5.0L, and you can expect more power thanks to enhanced breathing. Ford incorporated larger valves and cams, and revised heads with improved port design. Strength will come from Sintered-iron forged Boss-like 302 rods and springs, so we’re anticipating a high redline, upwards of 7,500rpm. The 5.0L will also sport a new intake (we’re guessing lower profile) with charge motion-control valves to improve stability at idle and mid-range throttle response.
According to Ford, “the variable cam timing on the intake side has a greater range of adjustment thanks to mid-lock phasers. This enables better optimized control of the valve timing over a broader range of engine speeds and loads for improved fuel economy and emissions.” The 5.0L Coyote also gets redesigned piston tops, and a balanced forged crank.
