Its not that impressive, take a 4.6 bore it out to 5.0 and add 1 valve per cylinder and variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust.

Basically 98-04 cobra engine with bigger displacement and variable valve timing. Cant wait to see Direct injection thrown at it as well.

Granted the numbers are nice.

Rednek, I'm fairly confident that this engine was built from the ground up. I don't think anything is shared with the outgoing 4.6 outside the fact its considered a mod motor.

+1. The Coyote is a new design.

yes it is a new design however it still shares the same bore spacing and architecture (blockwise) to make it cheaper to assemble at existing plants. I realize it isn't quite as simple as I made it to be, but I simplified it for the sake of not getting too deep.
