This is Ford we're talking about.. Something will definitely be in its way. 
I read somewhere that Ford designed it to be the same size as the 3.0, so that it can be dropped into existing models. If true, that would be a heck of a cool swap for us!

as quoted from the article:
"The new engine, which is the same size as the previous V-6, is designed to accommodate advanced technologies such as gas-electric hybrid capability and direct injection..."
i think we'd quite probably be able to do a swap, down the line...

Are you suggesting that there is such a thing as... enough power??
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

No, just that I'm not terribly impressed with the #'s. However...if they make a hot 3.5 for the SVT fusion with AWD...well that could give me wood!
