Good pot stir.

The 5L crate engine (mod) has been available in the U.S. for about a year.
I have read more than once recently, that Ford of AUS is reverting to a pushrod engine of some kind...is there any truth to that?
Never been much of a Mod motor fan, I'd like to see a return to pushrods and smaller external dimensions. I don't care how much HP they claim...those are damned expensive engines to play around with.

It's entirely possible that the new motor is being developed in Aus. The 4.0 Inline 6 has been a real success story for Ford Australia. Also the current 5.4 Boss motor was heavily reworked by Australian R&D before being released in the Falcon.

GM looked to the other colonials for R&D and manufacturing support. The LS motors are mostly built in Canada and we've been exporting rebadged Commodores and Monaros to the US for years. Maybe Ford is looking in that direction now.
