The 5.0 Coyote will be available in the 2011 Mustang which starts production in March of 2010 and will be sold starting in April 2010. Ford is going back to when it had the success of the 5.0 badging in the 80's and 90's. The engine makes 412 HP and gets 17mpg in the city. Ford Racing will sell performance kits to raise HP further.
