I was looking at Ford's Ecoboost engines around Christmas time. The seem to be similar in head and variable valve timing to the new 5.0. I wouldn't be surprised to see an Ecoboost version of the 5.0 in a few years.

The 3.5 ltr Ecoboost has a bit more torque down low than the 5.0 and just a little less top end Hp. I believe the 2.0 ltr Ecoboost beats the NA 3.5 ltr in Hp and torque at every rpm. I think the only thing holding Ford back, is how can they justify the power levels they would get with a 5.0 ltr version of the Ecoboost.

If they ever make it, it would be one bad ass Cobra engine.
