Ford's working on a new 7.0 liter, and I've heard that they are going to rework their V8. I think right now they are undergunned. The gt500 is a 5.4 right? Pretty much all stock mustangs are 4.6 even worse. GM's LS2 is 6.0 ~36 cubes bigger than fords biggest v8 and ~79 cubes bigger than the average mustang. It will be great to see Ford take new approach to the V8.

I'm looking forward to something (realisticly) like

4.125" bore
3.5" stroke
DOHC

As for what Camaros are beast said...
With foxes and 3rd gens. The 5.0 302 stomped the 305s. You got about .125" more bore, .48" less stroke, a much more agressive camshaft, far less bore shrouding, better heads, better exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust. Its a little bit harder for a 302 to keep up with a 350 though. Down on 48 cubes again though so i wonder why its hard to keep up. I think it would have been great if Ford would have built a stock 351 fox. I think a big part of it was that Ford kept the early fox mustangs as economy cars.

Oh and all this is coming from a guy with over $6,000 in his 89 firebird.

305 .060 over
