Sounds good to me! Not that I can afford a new engine right now...but its finally coming out! Annnnnd, they said its the same size as the old 3.0...which...may mean that it could fit into our older contours.....maybe! They also mentioned that the engine was designed for the future of turbo charging and direct injection....Hopefully things get exciting for Ford!! http://www.blueovalnews.com/index.php?categoryid=12&p2_articleid=334

Just hurry up and get it into the cars already. Heck, I might buy a 500 once the 3.5L is in it.

Congrats to Ford for producing an engine that is 4-5 years too late. Too many companies already been there done that.
