Will the new 5.0 engine be a Generation 4 unit?
If so, what would the changes be?.

22 and 23 Mustang 5.0 are still 12.1 The thread you read that on was erroneous.I think it could have lower compression 11:1 - like the '22/23 mustang vs 12:1 in the earlier models.
Past generational changes were significant IMO. I am thinking there is not much room on to move on a Gen 3 motor regarding changes. That's why I thought it might still be a Gen 3 for 2024.A Gen 4......yes, I'm expecting/hoping for that.
Significant changes? Probably not.
If those rumors are accurate, then the rumors of a dual air intake are probably also accurate. Unless they increased displacement, only way you're going to get more power is with more air, fuel, or compression. Since I don't see them upping the compression, more air and fuel is the next logical step towards 500hp.Past generational changes were significant IMO.

Now rumors of reaching "near 500hp" may be an indicator of a Gen 4 with significant changes.
Time will tell.
I read it straight from the ford website, engine specs. It shows 11:1 for ‘22 MY22 and 23 Mustang 5.0 are still 12.1 The thread you read that on was erroneous.
2018-2023 is 12:1, not 11:1. Typos happen.I think it could have lower compression 11:1 - like the '22/23 mustang vs 12:1 in the earlier models.
I think it is steel on the older cars like my 2017, but I agree metal is better than plastic.Man, I just want them to go back to an aluminum oil pan instead of that plastic garbage.
ford website documentation is RIFE with obvious errors and can never be relied upon to be even close to accurate.I read it straight from the ford website, engine specs. It shows 11:1 for ‘22 MY
