It seems like EB swaps are actually pretty difficult due to all of the electronics. There was a blog about swapping the 2.0EB into a foxbody and he ran into a lot of difficulties. I'm still dreaming Ford releases a 2.3EB with control pack for my foxbody project plans.
Yeah Project ugly horse! with a Fost 2.0 EB and Cobra IRS, last I read he was trying to get an MX-5 transmission to fit. Hope he puts some updates out soon.

Physically the 3.5 EB block is identical to the 3.7, so bolting it in is not a problem, the electrics will be the hardest part by a long shot.

What kind of electronics are we talking about? Wouldn't the 2.0EB electronics work?

EcoSnake has a lot of work done at Full Race and I believe he once said had seen one of their EB Mustang's with a 3.5 swap they were working on.

I going to make a bold statement and say that when Ford discontinues the v8, the v6 turbo will take over it's place on the throne. I just hope I'm alive to see it

911 is going all turbo now, So is BMW, and just about everybody else too

Nostalgia, will Keep you some loyalists but as has been proven, an independent rear suspension and turbo 4 brought in many more.

Alot of what drives the V8 is also ego, If ford were to keep the V8 exactly as it is, but it were no longer the top dog of the line up in price or power, there would be much raging in the forums but that would be what people would buy.

I remember reading all of the doom and gloom about he Ecoboost Mustang,

Ford was killing the Mustang,
It was going to be a sales flop
Not a real Mustang Blah, Blah Blah

ALL of it ended up being wrong. The Eco has been a sales success

If Ford sold a 1 cylinder Mustang with 600 hp for 30k or less getting 40 mpg, that's what I would drive.

Just remember, the first Mustang came with an I6, Carb, body on frame, and a solid rear axle. It shares nothing at all with the new one other than a name.
YOU ARE TROLLING i could get 600HP just as easy from a v8
