Default Engine swap anyone???

I figure, since the engine bay of the 2010 mustang more than likely hasn't changed from the 05-09's, have any of you sixers out there considered swapping out the 4.0 for the new 3.7 when it becomes available as a crate motor?
I know I have. I'd be willing to get a cowl hood if my stock hood doesn't fit over the new motor.
I'd like to have a 280hp v6 without having to pay for a new car. I probably wouldn't do it until my car had over 100k on it though.

So,
stick with the 4.0?

or swap to 3.7?

I really wanted the Twin turbo 3.5 V6 but seems they are designed for front wheel cars, i may consider trading for 5.0L 2011 maybe but i love my car so much that i cant say anything for sure

seeing as how i just got a 5.0 i wont be trading for the coyote, and swapping a v6 for a v6 is just way too much work for not enough gain, you might as well just swap for a v8...
