Would you want the new 7.3 V8 in the F150?

That is a marine engine correct? If so they are built for crazy high rpm work for sustained periods. Even my old 4.3 GM v6 marine engine will run all day at 4000 plus rpm without breaking a sweat and do it for 20 plus seasons of use. They run cooler and usually run 40wt full synthetic oil to help with all the high rpm work.

Pushrod 7.3L gas is probably too much for a 150 series. In an F-250+? Hell yeah, but I'll wait like 15 years when I can get one for like $3000.
At the current cost of a new truck? No thanks, I'll pass. If I wanted I large displacement gas truck now I'd buy a 6.8L V10(2V or 3V). Sure, they slurp gas, but at the price you can get them you end up spending less than any diesel and you get 400+ lbf-fts. Let's be real, for 90% of the people on here that's more than enough power.

If they can 'allegedly' squeeze that 7.3 in a Mustang, it'll fit in a F150.
Sign me up!
But only if the Raptor comes with it which is the only other F150 type vehicle i'll ever buy again.
