Talk:Ford Coyote V8

this engine is NOT an updated Ford Modular engine. it is a new engine family. see the references. it deserves its own page. i know the engine template needs to be applied but i don't know how to do that. still should be separated. --72.85.10.69 (talk) 18:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * This engine IS an updated Ford Modular engine, it is NOT a new engine family. I addressed this on the Modular talk page.  The references given cover this sufficiently, the information is there for anyone who understands what constitutes an engine architecture.  Another source if you need further convincing:  |Inside Line, and I quote, "Ford began development on the new engine some two and a half years ago, and it's simply a bored-and-stroked version of the all-aluminum, overhead-cam 4.6-liter Modular V8 first built in Ford's Romeo plant in 1991 and fitted to the Mustang in 1996." While that is a gross oversimplification, and it probably annoyed more than a few Ford power-train engineers, it is fundamentally correct. TheBalance (talk) 19:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
