Reply to "Ford's new 5.0 modular V8"

Quick update:

I called the FRPP hotline. The guy I spoke with said that he doesn't have any dimensions. However, the motor is the same dimensions at the oil pan as the 4.6 since Ford wanted a direct bolt-in engine to the Mustang's chassis. Hence the same bellhousing and motor mounts. He said that the oil pan clearances were almost identical to the 4.6. He suggested finding someone with a 2011 GT and measuring actual dimensions.

I asked about flipping the manifold, and he said that he didn't know. He said that the composite intake manifold has a belly to it that may not clear the front water pump casting that is part of the block. However, he did say that there are Boss manifolds coming out in a few months that have no belly. He said that FRPP has the Boss manifolds in stock but can't sell them until the Boss 302 car is available. Such a manifold would take a custom tune, but for those who don't know, this manifold looks like a factory EFI tunnel ram.
