Im in for pics of said swap.. :bs:
fords halo car is the ONLY CAR they are supporting for performance. its like here have a cookie they give you a sugar and you want a chocolate chip cookie, they wont give you the cookie you want. after all I am the customer I want what I want yet I don't get it from a company that I want to buy from. never asked or a supercar! I asked for options! oh but wait its funny how you ford fan boy mustang losers are on here. if ford brought out a new RWD V8 car all you trolls will hop right on that bandwagon. of course until then you pansy's will continue to write why ford doesn't need another car. performance oriented in 1 engine and in 1 car that does the same thing and that has been overpriced. NO OPTIONS!!!!! GM and Dodge has it! ford has lacked this idea since the let go of the thunderbird. the mustang only strategy is a joke and so are the designers that have been designing the mustang since 94.
I bought a 2011 GT mustang didn't like the 5.0 so I swapped a 6.2l in it. 16'' wheels which I really liked. re shaped the fat ugly rear plastic fascia and rid the black rocker plastic covers. I liked it for a few months and realized every one has a mustang. although mine stuck out of the crowd and I won nearly 200 awards at car shows and continuously raping 5.0 mustangs, I sold that car! I want something new I want something that isn't already out! yet other people that but fords but don't buy the mustang have options. Taurus fusion fiesta focus and something other, they have options yet I get none. do you see what im saying? I don't want a sports cars, I want another V8 RWD 2door car. the mustang doesn't do it for me so I have a crown vic to fill that void. ford has flooded the market with the mustang and sales have declined for many years now with slight bumps in sales. people are tired of this car! there was a survey last week 200K people took part in this survey. ["The new mustang will available next spring will you buy the mustang? and why or why not?" 149.243 said no! most common answer of the survey was "too much of the same we want a new car"] ''QUOTE"

Why? Its a 13 year old platform that's paid for itself by this pint and no longer in production. The coyote's heads are better, a coyote can be revved past 7,000 on a reasonable budget, doesn't require hand assembly, and can be set up for DI.
A variant of the 5.0 is a real possibility, the long in the tooth 5.4/5.8 not so much.
What makes the 5.8 long in the tooth? Do you think that Ford would have two different engine families if the 5.0 would easily replace the 5.8?
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.
The highlighted part of your post agrees with my post, and that was my main point. My other point is that the 5.8 may be old but it is still as powerful as Ford needs it to be.
My point was simply that Ford utilizes the 5.8 Trinity now, and will for the S550 despite having access to the 5.0 in any format it would like. This idea that somehow the new Coyote engine makes everything extinct is a bit misguided. There are benefits to the elimination of the 5.8 Trinity, and the fact that it carries over into the new S550 Mustang tells us that its benefits at this stage outweigh its drawbacks. I fully expect Ford to eliminate the 5.8 Trinity at some point in the future due to the things you just mentioned.
i dont think the motor will change when the new CRAPMARO comes out.i do not have inside info.but i will say that if they need to add more power to the same motor when the time is needed they will.you never know,the 2015 mustang might have between 450 to 475hp.epper:Anyone have a clue why Ford didn't just wait on releasing the 2015 when they had the "new" engine ready. Doesn't this path have 80% of the target Mustang audience waiting and not buying? Why would I buy a 2015 5.0 when in 2016 the motor may completely change to challenge the Camaro. I just don't get it....

They ought to just throw a 4G63 with $10K worth of mods in the GT500, and no one would miss the Trinity. If Ford did dat den it wood b da fast mustang eva!!!!!
But seriously if SVT got their hands on the 5.0 and messaged it the way they have the 5.4 based block then it would be twice the performance motor that the Trinity is. It would have plenty of lowend grunt all while being happy to turn some very high RPM's.
