Production on new V-8 to start at Essex plant in February
Production of a new fuel-efficient V-8 engine at Ford of Canada's Windsor's Essex Engine plant is scheduled to start Feb. 1, according to union officials.
So far about 210 production and tradesworkers are in the process of readying the plant for the official launch, said Renaud.
He said final volume numbers have yet to be set. "I know it's going to be slow going at the beginning until they get going," he said.
Renaud would not disclose which vehicles were in line for the new engine. But a source cited the Mustang sports car and F-150 pickup as the likely recipients.

From the link below:
2011 Ford Mustang GT officially rolls with a 5.0 V8 — Autoblog
I think they'd be wise to try to keep the price as close to the current GT as is possible. As Ford's own PR folks have said, if they raise it too much, they'll push it out of it's segment. They need to keep it where they still can undercut the Challenger and Camaro.
There's no final word on price (we'll definitely keep you updated on that regard), but as Ford's PR folks explained to us at the 5.0 reveal in Detroit, they can't raise the price too much or they'll push the Mustang out of its segment.

I want a,
Taurus
Fusion
Mustang of any breed
Fiesta
Focus
But mostly,
An F-250 / 150
My '88 runs like the champion steed that she was bred to be, my '04 Expy only 70K on the clock. My '99 is my gas sipping DD.
I'm so confused, but this is a good problem for Ford.
