There's a YouTube feed I watch from time to time that has already dropped one in a Fox body. It looks rather small in there because we're used to seeing the behemoth DOHC mod motors in there ****-hair'ing off the shock towers. I believe its been mentioned that it starts chucking rods around the 600hp mark. Not really that impressive when Gen2 5.0's are pretty consistently doing 800-900 and even touching on 1000 in some cases.
Palm Beach Dyno has purchased a base model version and has begun messing with the computer on it. I believe they bumped hp up 30 or so and similar tq gain. They are working with Whipple on a supercharger kit at the moment.
Procharger has already developed a "swap kit" for the motor itself and is finalizing the kit for the actual truck now.
Motor is cool, but not worth looking at in my opinion. It'll be like all the cheap ass LS **** where it'll be a great motor once you replace the....
heads, cam, intake, valve springs, rockers, pushrods, throttle body......basically everything but the short block.
Or you can just pony up a tad more(same) cash and buy a stock Gen 2 5.0 and do more with less.
