The Ford Mustang is the Slidell of automotive world.

Okay, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

I'd bet that an insanely powerful forced induction version of the new Ford 7.3 will find its way into the higher performance Mustangs in the future.

You'd lose that bet too. The new gasser engine has an iron block and is built for working vehicles.

Some of America's best engines use pushrods. It's a stout, compact setup with proven longevity that puts out good torque.

And most of the world's best engines are all OHC. While what you say is true, OHC engines are generally tougher and the ability for the cam(s) to act directly on the valves means higher RPM timing and valvetrain stability and the ability to run much more aggressive cam profiles than a pushrod could hope to run outside of pure race hardware. You look at the fastest LSx powered car the fastest Ford mod motor car and the mod motor holds the record and is doing so with factory parts while the GM car is running an aftermarket block.
