I'll just jump in and add DI = Direct Injection...HI-Po = High Performance
FPC= Flat Plane Crankshaft

Thanks Grimace.
Are we expecting either of these soon after launch, especially in the 2.3?
The 2.3 in Mustang technically IS the Hi Po version. At least compared to the MKC's 2.3EB.Thanks Grimace.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I thought that the HiPo would be the Shelby, etc.The term 'Hi-Po' is being used in place for the model above the GT since we don't know with certainty if it is a Shelby or SVT product.
FPC is simply a different internal design for an engine, and in this particular case is only referring to the V8 model. It is not related to the 2.3 EcoBoost. Now that isn't to say Ford isn't secretly building a special Ecoboost model, just that those two terms are referring to a special Mustang model that sits above the GT.
Yep. Or even in place of Team Mustang's variants, a la the Boss 302, Mach 1, etc.The term 'Hi-Po' is being used in place for the model above the GT since we don't know with certainty if it is a Shelby or SVT product.
People who don't know how DI works can think of a diesel engine. The fuel is compressed to very high pressures(2,000-3,000psi in some cases) and fired directly into the combustion chamber at the exact moment it is needed and offers the most efficient combustion process available with today's technology.I'll just jump in and add DI = Direct Injection...
On the plus side, it could offer more power and better fuel economy. Coupled with weight loss, I speculate we could eventually have a V8-equipped Mustang with at least as much power, and perhaps a 30mpg highway rating with it.People who don't know how DI works can think of a diesel engine.

Downsides are noise(sounds like a diesel at idle), obvious complexity and costs, and the buildup of carbon on the back of the intake valves due to the lack of fuel spraying on them to keep them clean.

Yeah, I caught that, but forgot to mention it. Silent testing? Hmmm :shrug:Am I the only one that noticed there was a short clip of the SVT prototype at 1:00 of the second video? With the words "Silent Testing" on the back. I don't remember seeing that anywhere....
The Mach 1s engine block and other components were shared with the Lincoln Aviator and the Mercury Marauder.Wasn't the same block for the Terminator used in the Mach 1, and the 5.4L an option in the F150?
Yes. And the Trinity is a bored-out 5.4 - I'm not sure if they just did a tooling change to achieve that, or if they did all new castings, incorperating more Coyote-like updates as well...The Mach 1s engine block and other components were shared with the Lincoln Aviator and the Mercury Marauder.
Don't forget the use of PTWA as well.Yes. And the Trinity is a bored-out 5.4 - I'm not sure if they just did a tooling change to achieve that, or if they did all new castings, incorperating more Coyote-like updates as well...
