To be honest I don't think the 5.0 will die for a while. They invested a lot of money refreshing it and it's a huge sales it. It sounds amazing and is underrated from the factory. Everyone wants one and even highway MPG is not that bad. I have a V6 right now (2014) and I want a 2018 GT pretty badly. I know there's a huge amount of people like that too.
I liked Ford's V6 and I wouldn't mind the 2.7 in a base level Mustang but I doubt they will do it. They'd have to spend more money and a lot of people who just want a base model Mustang are happy with the 2.3 4 cyl, they don't really care about the difference. They just want a car that's quick, decent MPG, and looks/handles like a Mustang. That's not going to change whether they have the 2.3 or 2.7. I personally wouldn't want one since I don't like 4 cyl engines but sales wise I don't see Ford making any extra money from switching to a 2.7 EB.
I wouldn't mind seeing the 2.7 EB used as the engine for a light 2 passenger coupe or something though, that'd be sick.
