1st I've heard of 3.5EB Mustang. Would be nice but not true. They will be 2.3L 4cylinder EB motor put in them those.

Exactly, 4 cyl. 2.3L EB that should produce 350hp to fit between the V6 305hp and the V8 412hp. I presume that EB with a tune should bring it around 400hp and it would be lighter than the V8, so faster and better cornering... N/A V8 are useless imo, just offer a better sound... But when I am in front of them, I can't hear their V8's anyways lol
V8 TT however, ouch!

Cool find Dave! Definitely exciting news... It will be VERY interesting to see what happens.It could be the dawn of a new gen of Mustang!

No dis to you EB F150 guys, but what one thing I noticed was the lack of mention of the SHO as a current 3.5TT vehicle.  Felt ignored again.

The are saying the 2.3 liter Ecoboost will come in around 300-320 hp factory.  I'm sure tuners will easily get the car into mid 300 range at the wheels.  I was hoping the 3.5 V6 TT was going to make it in there, but realize this would be taking away from the 5.0 crowd.  I'm just holding out for a good deal on a low mileage 07-09 GT500 Shelby.

I was never into turbo cars until my SHO. Now I'm drinking the turbo Kool Aid. A GT 500 with a TT 5.8L ecoboost would be ABSOLUTELY SICK!  Thrown in a good tune with 25 psi and built 9" axle with 4:56 gears and I dare say you got a 9 second car.

Yeah, you can now start to pick up good mile 07-09 GT500's for 28-30k now.  VMP or Lethal sells a TVS blower upgrade for $2400.  Basically make a 630-650 whp car that is strong and reliable for not a lot of dough.  The 5.4 Condor motor is a beast.  I would still have Torrie tune it though.

Man if they did a 3.5EB in a mustang, ran longitude opposed to transverse, that would be a mustang i would purchase. I know it will never happen as it would step all over the 5.0's toes

I believe that article about the "SVO EcoBoost" Mustang is from 2011. Theres much more recent info out there that suggests otherwise

Don't underestimate the 5.0.  Have a couple of friends that have gone mid 12's @ 114 stock in A6 cars.  Another friend just sold his 2013 5.0 with a vortech.  Stock motor with converter, slicks, and boost 9.80 @ 141.

A TVS on a 07-12 GT500 = 10's.  I have no idea why the 13-14 guys are swapping blowers?  Pulley/tune gets them into the 10's.  How fast do you need to go?

I know Ford Racing built a Cobra Jet 5.0 with twin turbos for drag racing purposes only

I would really like it if FMC would bring back the SVO. I remember when I first saw one of those. And thinking how cool it was (I was just a kid back then lol). But to bring it back with the 3.5EB, and The SVO treatment. Dare I say that would be awesome! I would really think about getting one of those. They brought back the GT500, the SHO and others why not the SVO Mustang? The SVO mustang did compete with the 5.0 back then. Hey maybe someone will start making them like they did with the 2012 Trans Am?

[BiGMaC]

I'd like to have Dan Millen's champion 2011 Mustang and the turbo you see in the front of it! That's really ecoboost!

[ShoBoat]

That turbo is freaking nuts! I would be kinda worried about sucking a bird r something into the turbo!
