2011 Mustang 5.0L V8 Dyno Test

The 5.0 is back! The 2011 Ford Mustang GT arrives with an all-new advanced 5.0-liter V-8 engine, developed by a passionate cadre of enthusiastic engineers who rallied around the common goal of delivering more than 400 horsepower.

The modern 5.0-liter four-valve Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) V-8 engine in the new Mustang GT will deliver 412 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque. At the same time, fuel economy is projected to be better than the previous model and unsurpassed in the segment.

@goooosa lmao what!? lol u mean chevy only has so far to go. ford has bn putting out about the same horse power as chevy when chevy is using bigger engines. so when chevy runs out of cubes the mustang will be pushing the same horsepower with more cubes still to go!! lol good try though.

Ford had no issue with putting a S/C on the stock 5.4 3v engine in the F150. Their S/C actually came with a powertrain warrenty of 3 years/30,000 miles. Those engines were built pretty strong out of the factory.

@carcajouxx uhhh the 2011 GT350 has the 5.0 and its supercharged from the factory.. so if shelby is putting a supercharger on it I'm sure its safe

@ESPsandEmgs

increasing engine stroke or bore size in this engine is completely irrelavent. the stock block can handle up to 750 hp not to mention it makes 415 STOCK n/a. shelby has already started designing and roush is spending so much time on the damn thing its going to be flawless by the time its realeased. That old school stroke bore dinosaur crap is dead and gone. stock block opprotunites thanks to ford are now limitless

[ESPsandEmgs]

What about stroker cranks? Will there be room?

[ESPsandEmgs]

I have herd that you will not be able to stroke this engine, is this true? This fact will have a HUGE impact on weather or not I switch from Bow Tie to The Blue Oval!

@razorfett147

I'm sure you've heard but for others, razor is spot on. The 2011 Shelby GT500 has an aluminum block 5.4L engine as opposed to the previous cast-iron. It also lost around 100lbs of weight, which is good news for any Mustang fan.

4 cams total, 2 Intake 2 Exhaust, If I'm not mistaken!
