The proposed 325ci motor, that was supposed to be roughly 100 HP less at the crank than the current cup motors(760-780 RWHP), is being held off indefinitely. So that means the Dodge, Ford, and Chevy cup motors will still be using the 358ci motors for a while.
It will be interesting now to see if Toyota will push to get their current Craftsman Truck Series OHV motors into the cup cars. I've also heard rumors that Honda was working on a cup motor, but from what I've been told it's just a rumor. I think Honda is contractually bound with IRL anyway.
So I guess we will still see the SB2 headed 358ci motors in the Car of Tomorrow next year.
