Damn.

Destroke it and get some more revs out of it. I'd be down for that.

Doubt it'll happen, Ford seems hell bent on being an EV follower and taking us down the path of no more cars soon. I'd be surprised if the next Gen Mustang even still has the 5.0.

I think the next gen is last of ICE/V8. Fun while it lasted.

Without all the lovely AFM, DoD, and other fuel mileage and emission goodies, you'll never see this engine produced/offered in any sort of significant numbers outside of commercial use. Anything that has to report fuel mileage on the sticker will see very limited use. It could find it's way into the Raptor R or similar HiPo variants, but your talking extremely low volumes as not to impact their CAFE numbers significantly.

Bore is like 4.22" and stroke is 3.98" for the 7.3.

Juuuust a smidge smaller than the fabled 454 displacement from Chevy.
