You may want to check out the FG hub section.

Ford is replacing the 4.0l with a V6 and for the XR6 it is supposed to be twin turbo.

There is a rumour of a twin turbo V8 also.

True. Both the XR6T and the Typhoon will have Twin Turbo V6es, called EcoBoost (or TwinForce). Just Google them. As the the TTV8, that is still on the drawing board. We are still waiting to hear about the Prototype Hurricane/Boss V8s that are being released next year. Even if Ford do make a TTV8, there isn't much chance of us getting it in anything. Us Luddites have always expected FPV to go down the Supercharger route.

The V6 will be an exciting move for Ford, as the aftermarket stuff with Bolt On Mods will be huge.
