well there are rumors of a new engine for the F-150 since it does have the least horsepower out of the bunch now that Chevy has their 6.0L and Toyota has their 5.7L, truck trend reported that the new 6.2L engine that was probably going to be an option in the next model was scraped but people that work at, or live near the Cleveland engine plant say that the casting for the 6.2L engine block has already started. Some more people on this forum have to know something more about this new and exciting engine!

the rumored specs have it at:
6.2L
425+ HP
425+ TQ

 

I heard 425hp/450tq from *talk* at a dealership.

 

well even better because i also heard from some one working in the engineering department of ford that they are wanting to cut some weight off of it yet still keep its class leading strength and rigidity

 

according to blue oval forums there is a guy that supposedly has connections with ford and he is reporting a 6.2L already clocked at over 400HP.

 

ya somebody on another ford truck forum said they had a working one that was making 380 HP with no computer connected to it which means it wasn't even tunned

 

is this going to be a new modular motor or a completely new design?

 

how is that possible? Is this not going to be computer controlled?

 

maybe this will help us out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Boss_engine

 

I'd like to see what block design they use for it

 

 

no they just didn't put a computer on it to regulate the computerized stuff on engines or maybe they had a computer on it but never factory tuned it

 

just imagine when TP gets ahold of it!

 

ya that twin turbo version could be used in soo many performance applications like the mustang, also they said it could have a 7.0L version, thats big

new lightning anyone?

 

I'll take 2
no replacement for displacement!

 

i just do not want a new lightning costing like 50 grand like the srt!
