All engines in V8SC are 5L and use pushrods. Do the regs state that the engine must use pushrod valvetrains? If not would Ford be able to use a DOHC 4valve/head donk in thier V8SCs in the future?

They will continue to use the same engine just as Holden has & will probalby not update until the NASCARs do which I don't think have any plans to in the near future

Does that mean that holden is currently racing with an engine that's not even in production any more?

No Holden has used a Chev engine since the introduction of V8 Supercars apart from Perkins who held on to his old Holden engines for the first year or 2.
