[QUOTE="weebz69, post: 13648013, member: 59377"] Man all those Jack wagons out there talking that Ford will be getting rid of the 5.8 for the new body style....not right away anyways and doing an all motor 5.3 L in the new cobra lol Dude this info is from Car & Driver's December 2013 issue....and yes Ford will keep the 5.8 for now and also introduce a flat 8 between 5-5.5 L eco boost that makes 550-600hp this is what they say... Ford has many plans for ultra-high-performance Mustangs. The first will be a successor to the Shelby-branded GT500, and the company will continue to offer Ford’s “Trinity” supercharged 5.8-liter V-8 making 662 horses. Past the new-gen Shelby GT500, Ford has additional powertrain options for two more hi-po nameplates. The first is a twin-turbocharged V-8, code-named “Voodoo,” which displaces between 5.0 and 5.5 liters and, most intriguingly, has a “flat-plane” or 180-degree crankshaft, as Ferrari has used in its V-8s since 1973. This configuration, also found in the late Lotus Esprit V-8, is akin to connecting two four-cylinder banks to a common crankshaft. Flat cranks theoretically improve power, throttle response, and the soundtrack at the expense of greater vibration. This EcoBoost V-8 will produce between 550 and 600 horses. It will power a Shelby GT350–branded model that eventually will take over from the GT500, as Ford is desperate to discontinue that car’s costly and thirsty Trinity. [/QUOTE]
