Just stumbled onto this thread, I think Ford could easily do a 6.8L pushrod motor with an aluminum block and heads. They can easily put it in the Mustang. A 6.8L with a boatload of torque can cruise at 1100
Rpm and 60mph while sipping gas.
If you look at the reasoning behind the 7.3L in the super duties, it's because they have more ability to pull while using less fuel. The late 80s and early 90s Mustangs were quick because they made a lot of torque. Everyone looks at that 225 hp but forget that 300 ft lbs of torque.
As long as the gearing is right, it's possible. It could be something they will put in the stang as a limited production vehicle. There were only a few hundred 2000 Cobra Rs made.
