[QUOTE="americansteel, post: 13481041, member: 149471"] It's possible. But Ford won't put out a flat crank V8 anyway (they won't sell something that goes away from their classic sound). Besides, they're not going to deliver that kind of power from a GT350 anyway. If they do put something out, expect it to be similar power to a Boss, similar displacement, perhaps up a bit on overall power depending on what they do with the GT500. 1) At the end of the day -- the Mustang has a very iconic sound. They're not going to steer from that unless it's an extremely low production model like the Cobra R. 2) CAFE standards are getting stricter. They're going to be doing more power with less displacement (likely not a 6.2). 3) They will not try to eat into GT500 sales by putting power numbers close to it. I could still seeing them use a 5.4 or 5.8 N/A -- but I don't think we'll see anything higher than that. And certainly not flat crank. Though... that would be pretty hot.[/QUOTE] not even happening. the current 5.0 will be the same engine that is going into the S550 platform. no changes in HP or TQ. the current 5.0 is pretty much maxxed out for N/A reliability. the 6.2l will always make more power than what a 5.8l or a 5.0l could ever do and that is even at RPM ranges below 7000RPM. the 5.4l has 2 years left of production. A N/A 5.8l will take its place in the new F150 and Expedition. however ford will release the 5.8l in the mach1 and SVT cobra. I don't know why there is rumors of ford going to flat crank when ford has never even mentioned that idea about their V8 engines. im friends with a machinist that is cousins with a ford Executive who is also a share holder of FoMoCo, no 5.0l changes are coming.
