I will admit it, I like Ford's super duty line...

The mustang will always suck though, especially green ones.

I wonder which "new" part will get a recall first?

I'd like to know what the did to make the gas motor bigger. And Im sure you guys know why.:mrgreen:

Bore and stroke, I believe.

Bore and stroke, I believe.

Ya Ya. See the only diff between a 5.4 and a 4.6 is the stroke. They got the stroke by raising the deck height. Thats why the intakes will not interchange.
I want to know if the new motor has the same deck height as a 5.4.

Interesting turbo setup, same placement BMW used with the X5 and X6 Ms

From MustangNews.com:

"An all new architecture, the 6.2 V8 engine features single overhead-cams with variable valve timing and two-valves per cylinder. Unique to the design of the heads is the accommodation of two spark plugs per cylinder.

The engine will be available as the standard power plant for F-250 and up Super Duty trucks and optional on the F-150 for the 2011 model year. As it is a dedicated and purpose designed truck engine it is not expected to show up in a new Mustang without being reworked to shave weight from its stout iron block. Roush has however been experimenting with a 7-liter version in their drag racing cars which hits 800hp and has been bullet-proof so who knows what evil may come if SVT chooses to play with the new engine series.

Making this engine particularly robust is the over square cylinders which have a bore of 102mm and a short 95mm stroke. This arrangement tends to lend itself to high performance and better revving capabilities. The single overhead cams with variable timing use roller-rockers to act upon the valves which are arranged in a true “hemi” form. Anyone who builds engines knows this is best for breathing capabilities.

Basic construction consists of a cast iron block has cross-bolted four-bolt main bearing caps, aluminum heads, forged steel rods, cast aluminum pistons, magnesium valve covers and a plastic intake manifold. Compression ratio is a relatively high 9.8:1 and it can run on any variation of pump gas from regular to E-85. Pretty slick huh?

Significant development work and computer-aided engineering optimized the cylinder block for more efficient airflow in the crankcase as the pistons move up and down in the bores, resulting in improved torque at higher engine speeds. Piston-cooling jets squirt oil on the underside of the pistons to keep the piston crowns cool under extreme operating conditions. The cooling jets also allow for a higher compression ratio for better engine efficiency and faster engine oil warm-up on cold starts, also improving fuel economy."

It may be a good design I dont know but that is one ugly truck.
