Ford announced a while ago the 5.2 was GT350 only and they had no plans to use it in any other cars. There was also a blip where Ford accidently had a page for a new GT500 up and it listed a 5.8L still.

I think it is more likely the new GT500 will have a 5.8 based on the current 5.0, and if there is a new Mach1 it will likely be like the BOSS and have a tweaked 5.0, but I'd prefer an N/A 5.8.
