I'm hearing a 5.0L V8 (400 HP) which with a lower car weight should be competitive with the SS.
Not quite. 5.0L DOHC V8 wont show until the 2011MY, until then the GT carries on with a tweaked 4.6L SOHC pumping out a bit more hp and the 5-speed manual. Chassis lightening tidbits are coming, but some of that may not show up before the 2011MY either.

If a GTDi V6 engine shows up in the Mustang it will be slotted above the GT, will produce more than 415hp, and wont be called Ecoboost.
