Mustang forum heaven, The Mustang Source, isn’t exactly a mouthpiece for Ford corporate, but we couldn’t help but be a little interested in some very plausible rumors making their way across its message boards. A seemingly knowledgeable poster claims to have the dirt on what we can expect from the 2010 Mustang lineup.

According to the source, the new 3.7-liter V-6 engine will be rated at a whopping 315 horsepower—105 ponies more than the current six, and 11 more than the Camaro’s V-6 puts out. Ford’s new 5.0-liter ‘Coyote’ V-8 is rumored to be gracing the engine bay of the GT, potentially giving that model the 400 horsepower it so richly deserves.

What’s not mentioned in the report is any application of Ford’s EcoBoost V-6 in the next Mustang, which flies in the face of previous back-room mutterings we’d been privy to. If the new V-6 is a good as the new report points out it would seen to squeeze the turbocharged EcoBoost out of the picture, however, dashing our hopes for the return of the SVO badge.
