[41] The 5.8 engine is formally known as the Trinity Engine or 5.8-liter V-8. That's a little different from Coyote, which designates just the 5.0 TiVCT V-8 in the Mustang GT, or RoadRunner for the Boss 302 engine. Finally, for reference, the previous generation 5.4 GT500 engine is codenamed Condor.[42]
The 5.8 L benefits from cylinder heads with improved coolant flow, Ford GT camshafts, piston-cooling oil jets similar to those found on the 5.0 Coyote, new 5-layer MLS head gaskets, an over-rev function that increases the red line to 7000 rpm for up to 8 seconds (from 6250 rpm), and a compression ratio increased to 9.0:1 (from 8.5:1). Displacement is 355 cu. in. (5,812 cc) with a bore diameter of 93.5 mm (3.681 in) and stroke of 105.8 mm (4.165 in). Boost is supplied by a 2.3L TVS supercharger with maximum boost of 14 psi.[43] Trinity has 37.0 mm intake valves and 32.0 mm exhaust valves.[WIKI]
