No.
Neither motor is going anywhere. I haven't owned either, so I can't say from first hand experience the benefits/shortcomings of the motors. But I do know guys who are still building Flatheads, 289's 427sohcs, hemi's etc. I believe that every sport car has an appropriate motor(or motors) and as long as there are fox bodies and older mustangs on the road the 5.0 will still be a useful motor. The last run of 5.0's will bolt into just about any pre-mod mustang, save maybe some Mustang II's. The fact is, the exterior dimensions of the mod motors hinder the useability of retro fitting. Thats just my .02
