Looks like it's going some bad *** shiii, -push rod, pretty much comes with LTH's from the factory..glad they took advantage of that extra space. Simple to work on, Looks as though your arm would between the valley and intake. Very nice, well engineered....going to be interesting.

Simple to work on, 4v I believe, they've had success with the 4V's in the past wouldn't you say lol. Looks as though your arm would between the valley and intake.

This is a push rod engine, not OHC

Definitely old school base with a new school twist. Two valve and and cam in block was not something I expected from ford tbh. I'll bet good money this engine finds it's way into a Raptor and an aluminum block variant will be a Mustang power plant.

Fixed that for you.

The aftermarket supercharger manufacturers are probably champing at the bit with this thing.

Thought I read the Raptor was getting a V8 option down the road. This could be the engine they're referring two (?)

So many applications, think they are still using some v10's commercially, well they were in 17 anyway. If it's still being produced today, it'll be gone entirely once this one starts. They say power and torque is going to be in the middle somewhere, between the 6two and 6seven. It's going to be good and most likley have the potential to mod further I expect.

The other day it looked like everyone was two toned on the e-way, - white up to windows and whichever color on top.
___________

Copied this from an article, -

2019 ford raptor v8 option, F-150 Raptor 2019 will receive 7.0 L V8.

They produced a 7.0, year later, a 7.3. Didn't make a lot of sense.

EDIT: Looks like the 7.0 was just allot of hearsay. Many articles saying that's the V8 PR engine option the raptor would have 2019. Ford must of scratched that plan, bumping it up to a 7.3. Hell not sure if that's going to happen this year now. If that's the case and it does, they will most likley drop the 6.2 in the near future. This will be interesting to watch...for I anyway.

I like it.... Ford will draw a lot of customers in with this powerplant. Especially if they can get it to the V10 numbers. I know quite a few people that swear by that V10. You never see anyone swear by a Dog.... I mean Dodge V10. Those were garbage, and sounded like a hair dryer.

Mine looks like a gradient in photoshop, LOL.
