Surely manufacturers would be after some modern road-relevant technology -- direct injection, hybrid systems and so on?
Would something akin to say this Mazda AER engine be a better fit? Crucially, it would be a chance to forget the regressive Group 3A pushrod V8 regulations and return to the iconic layout of 4 cylinders and turbocharger that the Nissan Bluebird and Ford Sierra made famous in the ATCC. 
Out with the blasé Mustang GT and in with the mighty Mustang Ecoboost!
One might call such a category engine, a modernised Cossie. Isn't the Cossie wonderful?  |
They did some really good work updating the 1970's Pinto....
