Would you want the new 7.3 V8 in the F150?

why when you can make 500/500 easily out of the 3.5L V6 block. and now that they've got the CGI blocks working well - I wonder how far that can go.
What's the rating on the new 3.0 Ecoboost in the lincolns - isn't it 400/400 - or something like that.
mated to 10 gears and a computer that knows where the torque needs to be by way of the foot sensor (throttle by wire) - you have a competition beating combination without going to other extremes.
punch that out to 3.4 liters - or whatever the next step in the EU tax breakdown is - and have a world beater. I mean let's face it - they proved a number of times the engine in the ford GT - easily crosses the 700 ft lb line.

Absolutely... Just what we need is a bigger engine that sucks even more gas with greatly reduced mileage. Seriously doubt with the CAFE standards that engine will ever grace a F150........

People think I'm crazy, but I still think that 7.3l is gonna find its way into a special edition mustang of some sort. Its possible it may find its way into a sport version of the F150 as well...
But those mentioning CAFE have a valid argument, and the 7.3l will not return good economy as compared to current F150 offerings. Additionally its gonna be heavy...
I can dream though

You boys got this all kind of wrong. Monster V8 more compact than a 5.0? This thing belongs in a Ranger. I'd be all over that.

Small block, BUT has a deep oil pan and integral oil pump and pickup so getting a shallow pan is not in the works without some heavy mods. Which means that, no, it wont be in a Mustang.
