However, It would be cool to see Ford put the new 7.3l gas push rod motor that is in the newest super duty trucks into the GT. It handles a easy 900 HP with a supercharger, injectors and a tune. But, as we all know gas guzzlers and large cubic inches are a thing of the past. I will never experience it as I would be dreaming of a Ford GT on a Ford Mustang budget; as would 99% of the rest of the world.

This. Yes, as someone said, electric may be even faster. I’m not saying that the Ecoboost doesn’t produce power, but a V6 in any form in a GT40 is kind of like a mustache on a beauty queen. It just looks out of place.
I did some digging this AM. We all know Dodge has it figured out with their supercharged Hellcat Hemi engine, but it's also not uncommon for guys to get 900-1000 hp with twin spooled Coyote V8's.
Since this is a Ford engine, seems like it would make perfect sense to use that platform, but what the hell to do I know? I can only dream of owning a GT40.
No one said we wouldn’t take it if given, we are only saying it should have had a monster V8 in there.
