Just because the 5.0 gets disco'd doesn't mean they wouldn't have a v8.
The push right now is low displacement higher power through efficiency to meet emissions and efficiency requirements.
Some of them have gotten away with it through cylinder deactivation in the v8's but that will only get them so far..
There's a reason they're using a 3.5L twin turbo'd v6 in the new Ford GT and it ain't because they can't get more power out of a bigger engine...

I was looking forward to the control pack for the ecoboost 3.5 because I was wanting to swap it into the FRS. If the mustang gets it, I can do the swap legally in cali using the entire drive train like I was considering doing with the camaro ss and the L99. I think I would much rather have an engine that is already forced induction and longitudinal mount RWD to start with. It will make the swap (and future upgrades) VASTLY easier and cheaper than trying to upgrade all the components to support it using the twins' rear end, trans, brakes, etc...
