a detuned version of the Ford GT's motor is pretty damned appealing,

I don't think that would be a bright idea on fords part.. The current ford gt motor is one of the worst motors for efficiency out there..
For comparison sake.. it weighs over 700 lbs.. Comparitively.. a ls2 block.. a 6 liter.. weighs only 4xx lbs. The 427 there rumouring in the new vette is not anywhere near 700 lbs either.
But what do I know... the 4.6 supercharged engine out of the last mustang wasn't exactly a sports car engine(outweighed the outgoing 5.0 significantly and had a larger external profile.. also had the noted reliability).
I think their best bet is a new engine.. Frankly, I think they need new engines all the way around, cause thats the one aspect of fords programs that simply isn't up to par.
