Anyone heard of a Boss 351 or 429 for the new gen?

Given that even the current 5.0 will essentially obliterate any mega motor from the sixties, I don't see the need to go any larger. Lash on a pair of turbos and, well, I don't see lack of power as being the limiting performance factor. Even with the current GT500, the limiting factor seems to be its (in)ability to fully utilize its available power. I think the must fruitful gains in performance will be to greatly enhance that ability to fully utilize even current HP levels, thus, I think the S550's greatly enhanced chassis is a well considered approach.

The Boss was confirmed for production only through 11-14. While it would be cool to see an modern interpretation of another old school edition id really REALLY like to see a new model. Its the 50th anniversary. New car aimed for global domination. I think its time for a new special edition

I would really like to see a big ole 429 In a new mustang myself but I know it will never happen. Seems like they are cutting weight on the new stangs and a big ole 429 isn't gonna help when it comes to that.

A 429 doesn't have to be heavy or big, just look at the displacements they are getting out of the good-0l tried and true 9.5" deck Windsor motor or the LS7 as another example which is around the same weight as the coyote.
Ford just hasn't got anything in its inventory that can be stretched out like that. The coyote motor suffers from the same problem all MOD motors suffer from and that's narrow bore spacing which makes meaningful increases in displacement hard to come by.
