The 6.4 is a stroked 6.0l - with common rail injection - so its still a 6l based engine, just changed to reduce emissions and reduce problems caused by a smaller injector fired by oil. The 7.3 used the same type of injection system but the injectors are more than twice the size.
btw the idi 6.9/7.3 idi are pretty much the same except for the cubes, kinda like how the 6.0l/6.4 will be, but with a differnent injection system.
Just thought i'd mention that dodge who also does not build there engine is changing for emission reasons aswell, just like gm who does not build there engine. The cummins has changed a lot over the years aswell but just the cubic inches stayed the same.

Ford no doubt would have wanted to stick with the ultra reliable second generation 7.3L PSD, but emissions laws forced the 6.0L.
