Not wanting to buy parts from 888 is a tempting deal if they're making a mint selling them. Also factor in the business side with KR in the position to make panels for the Altima currently - they might want to keep those staff on churning out Mustang panels until they switch cars again?
Also probably not worth reinventing the wheel on engines at the moment, if the category throws the current power levels in the bin. Lease some engines for a year, see what they decide with 2021 regs. Seems a pretty easy way to limp through 2020 somewhat cheaply and then see what the landscape provides. The experience with the Chev powerplant is in contrast with the panel production capabilities - they may also have it in house, but they'd be locked into the RD money pit of buying ZB panels, for what is essentially knowledge five years out of date.
