Funny you would say that,as we speak a 5.2 version of the 5.0 is close to introduction -twin turboed
too. Not sure about direct injection ,but big power and torque is coming.
Replacement for the 6.2 and eventually the V10.
I'm curious! Do you have any links for info?
I also would like to see the source for this. Hard to believe that with the current and upcoming CAFE standards this would be a serious consideration.
Just the guys I used to work with that are still in the plant,machinery is being installed and they are experienced enough to know what they are looking at .
The same building produces the 'nano head'' (2.7L) .
the 5.0 cylinder head has always had the mounts cast in for D.I. ,and the dino lab had a 5.0 up to 1000hp just for *hits and giggles.
I doubt if any links are to found ,the company is still at the "we do not comment on future product" stage.
Still a year or so away I guess.
