I agree it will happen in the future but if it does I think it will be an iron block...JMO

400 hp with a NA 5.4l 4V would be awesome for base GT engines.
Wont be too far in the future

i'm sure if they do they will use the 4v 5.4 that's in the GT500 w/o the supercharger... but i'd like to save a little weight and go alluminum

The new Mustang GT is not getting a 5.4 or any other 4v motor.

I would just be happy with an all-aluminum5.0 liter 3 valve making 350+bhp. Of course, an all-aluminum5.0 liter 4 valve would be better making around 400bhp.

Indeed it would be...

And if memory serves me right, its based off the 4.6L mod motor.

Ford is still working on an answer to the HEMI engines. Something in the 6+ liter range making 420+- HP. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in some type of Mustang in 2010 or so.

That aside, the 5.4 would be great. I would be happy keeping the 4.6 and just having them put in forged pistons, rods and crank.
I can't see ford doing a 6.0+ liter. None of the other cars in either the U.S. market or foreign markets have one. The trend has been to work within the confins of your existing parts bin changing pieces and parts here and there to getwhere you want to go. Unless they plan on adding a 6.0+ to their truck line-up or some other cars as well, the 5.4 would be the engine of choice to tinker with.

the 3.5L in the new Lincoln MKZ and slated for the base mustang in 09 is an example of this along with the 4.0L in the current generation that is also used in their compact truck line.

GM uses their 6.0L in the vette, the upcoming Camaro, and their Caddy line.

No one said it would be. There were just saying it would be nice if they did use it

Honestly, why is it so hard to believe that the new mustang would have the 5.4 4v....its not that far fetched...
You realize the mustang will have the camaro and chargerto compete with thise next model run.
