[QUOTE="FortLewisCobra, post: 13751684, member: 97706"] At its heart its the same block/heads combo that has been around since the 2000R, when the majority of the R&D was done, and Fords been coasting on it ever since. True they've made some updates but nothing performance shops weren't already been doing (boring, cams, etc). Its not like they have millions invested that the motor still needs to pay off. Not to mention the tooling they were using for the block was shared by the F150 and the Navigator which have all dropped the 5.4 so it no longer has the economies of scale. The 5.0 wont easily replace it, that's why they didn't immediately do it. Now that they have even better heads its a real possibility, especially if they add DI, displacement, and a TVS. Edit: Before anyone loses their mind Im not saying that the 5.8 isnt an excellent motor, it is, Im saying Ford doesn't have a reason to keep it. [/QUOTE]
