Sorry if this is a repost, but not sure if anyone saw this article yesterday on Motor Trend's site:

Ford Cyclone 3.5L

Some highlights:
-Same package size as 3.0L Duratec
-250HP/240lbs-ft (on Regular Unleaded)
-VVT
-High Pressure Casting (in lieu of Sand Casting)
-Engine designed with future turbocharging in mind

Now if we only knew the specifics of the transaxle mounting bolt pattern...
