Even when not supercharged the 5.4 can make 422 hp (Ford Falcon FPV GT), which at 200 pounds less would still beat the SRT-8.

The 5.0 is supposed to be the same engine as the 4.6, just bored out; it shouldn't weigh much more than the current model. Of course, there are different 5.0 engines, some bored out, some built from the ground up:

They can range from 340-450hp depending on what model is used.
