The Mustang has been said by Ford many times it will keep the V8 as its primary power house.

I think we will see a new engine in the next Z, probably a NA DI high revving motor but no forced induction. I do not think FI is going to boost sales that much for the Z, it is a very niche car and throwing on FI will probably add another 10k to the price.

will be interesting to see what nissan does with the upcoming z

Yep, I think the bigger factor might not be the engine but do they go with a lighter car for the next generation maybe?
I could see them easily make a 3.0L high revving NA car that weights 2900 pounds but at the same time continue the line with a 3500lb car with a decent 3.9L engine.
