Ladies and gentlemen, let me hear you “OH!” for the Ford Mustang GT full 5.0L V8! Indulge yourselves with all 412 Mustangpower horsepower galloping in as spring 2010. Five “Ohs” for the full 5.0L engine, for the exhaust manifolds, whose conjoined design evens out exhaust flow in a compact header, for the unusual-on-a-naturally-aspirated-car redesigned oil sump, baffled for reliable oil supply to the pickup, and oil squirters under each piston to keep internal temperatures down, for the all aluminum heads, with four valves per cylinder operated by four overhead camshafts – perhaps the improvements to the valvetrain that will make the biggest difference and last but not least, for the new engine which is around 5% more fuel-efficient than the old one, meaning this indecently powerful fox will still get somewhere near 25mpg on the highway.

This newer, tighter, more modern engine seems to have only benefits,  including 10,000 mile oil-change intervals, allowing you to use the cheap 5w20 non-synthetic stuff, too, and lower maintenance costs, not to mention the full 7,000 rpm to play with before redline or the the Ti-VCT system, meaning that  the cam timing on exhaust and intake are independently variable ( Ti-VCT stands for “twin independent variable cam timing”).

Nothing more to say than “Welcome back, muscle car!”
