It's entirely possible that the new motor is being developed in Aus. The 4.0 Inline 6 has been a real success story for Ford Australia. Also the current 5.4 Boss motor was heavily reworked by Australian R&D before being released in the Falcon.

GM looked to the other colonials for R&D and manufacturing support. The LS motors are mostly built in Canada and we've been exporting rebadged Commodores and Monaros to the US for years. Maybe Ford is looking in that direction now.

Cheers
