As far as the return of the 5.0.....I wouldn't be surprised. I can easily see Ford turning out a 24V SOHC 5.0 (just a stroked out version of the current 3V 4.6) and putting a 350hp GT onto the market. I don't see the GT coming out with anything bigger than 350 though. A 400hp DOHC 5.0 Boss would be a nice side option though.
Saleen has done this already, so I don't see why Ford can't. They've stroked and bored the 4.6 to a 5.0 for their H302 and S302 Extreme models. The base H302 is N/A w. 390 HP/TQ. The H302 SC has 580 HP 525 TQ. Finally the S302 Extreme has a blistering 620 HP 600 TQ.
