It is possible the engine is a "made up on paper" engine..........according to this board member on Modular Fords: (post # 5)

"It's not a GT or a Boss according to the specs, it's an engine that doesn't exist. Someone goofed. All appearances are that it is the 2011 GT engine other than the piston and exhaust cam specs. I suspect that was the intent, to use that crate engine, much like they did with the 4.6 3V in the CJ previously. But the specs are wrong, not the first time they have submitted incorrect specs and cars got bounced for it previously too.

As listed it is a natural C car. Nothing there about transmissions, so no idea what can be used. Another paper car snuck into the guide, Ford hasn't put a production car in there for years now, just this made up ****. "
Sounds like a "CRATE MOTOR" to me.
