[QUOTE="Fourcam380, post: 15567580, member: 185249"] The reason not to would be it just isn't needed. Ford isn't Chiron hunting, and cost is still their min concern, as is any oem. "Ecoboost" was chose by marketing to be representative of modern powerplants that make HP with efficiency (even though they suck as much gas as anyone else's v8s). The Boss engines were always destined for trucks not Stang's. It's a nice thought, an Al 7.0-7.5l 4v v8 ina mustang with or without FI, but it ain't gonna happen. Too overkill and CAFE regs look to have a diff ramp rate but still end up at dumb levels in the near future. Would have been neat to see this in the new GT vs a v6, but that would have cost too much $ for such a limited production vehicle. Amortizing that v8 would just bury ford via CAFE. [/QUOTE]
