There also never was any Mustang called a "Boss 428" so that is a non starter.
And yes, as others have pointed out there is no Ford production engine that is anywhere near to 429 CID any more.

We'll never see again anything with such big displacement numbers or name. With CAFE standards and global warming issues, no way will FoMoCo ever build such engines again. There is too many other alternatives out there for Ford not to use them.

The biggest engine I could see them doing now would be a 351. Speaking of, there was just one at PRI.
And elvis, it might not be exact in terms of ci numbers, but there are specific numbers that carry a lot of weight. Companies aren't going to recreate a bunch of oddball sizes.

i hear u guys..i know its highly unlikely ever happening but when i mentioned to a buddy of mine that ford came out with the 302 he said "who's to say a 429 isnt next" i said your right,u never know. Roush calls his Mustang 427R and we all know its not. Anyway, i just figure i bring it up for the heck of it..I dont want to stir any feud!!

The Corvette Z06's LS-7 boasts 427 cubic inches. That said, I don't see Ford going that direction at this point.
So-called global warming is the biggest scam ever pulled on Western Civilization. No matter what proof is presented to refute it (actual temperature data, e-mails between government-employed scientists admitting to altering data, etc.) people inexplicably still buy into anthropomorphic global warming as fact in lieu of the fantasy it is. This on top of the recent admission by a U.N. "climate change" panel member that the main purpose of the U.N. panel's existence was to "redistribute wealth", not actually solve anything.

Now I will go try to warm the earth with my 412hp ecological nightmare. It's fookin' freezing in NJ tonight so I hope the locals appreciate the warm front that will move in when the 5.0 comes to life.

Consider for a moment that the Boss 429 was conceived initially for NASCAR use. It was never quick on the street as it had crescent heads, camming, and carburetion set up for high speed ovals.
Fast forward to 2011 when Ford will replace the Fusion with Mustangs in NASCAR. This would be a great opportunity to capitalize on Mustang's return to NASCAR with some sort of big cubed engine and a special edition Boss model for the NASCAR crowd. While the 6.2L V8 in the 2011 Ford Trucks isn't big enough, I do remember reading about Don Bowles testing a 7.0L (roughly 429 cubic inch) V8 that looked based on the OHV 6.2L V8. Don is associated with Jack Roush, who just happens to do a lot of engineering for Ford.
Ford brought back our beloved road racing Boss (the 2012 Boss 302), so it's not out of the question to think a NASCAR Boss (Boss 429) could be under consideration, as well?

Maybe do something on that order for NHRA like they did for the current Cobra Jet.

Someone earlier than my post had mentioned "global warming issues" as a reason we wouldn't see a Boss 429, which got me going. Sorry I didn't properly reference what I was responding to.
To my earlier rant, I think most of us can agree that at this point a 429 just may not be necessary given the 5.0's efficiency and the availability of supercharging. The days of the 8 mpg huge displacement multi-carb motors has come and gone, but it doesn't mean we are ready for a plug-in electric just yet. (no reference for that one, just spinning down now)
