I heard rumors of this motor but i was on the Ford Racing website and they offer a 5.0 TT in the cobra jet. It has the Borg warner turbos like the ecoboost. You can bet to see this in the new atlas or f250 class. I am very excited

I bet that engine alone cost $40k. Sucks to be poor like me

I can bet you'll only see that in the CorbraJet car for awhile yet. Maybe you'll see it in the Mustang GT500 to replace the supercharger but I doubt it will go into a truck.
We'll see though

how did ya come up with that math?

That guesstimate may be a little low considering the price of the car is $97,990.

Just guesstimating, really.

I figured a Turn key supercharged Roush 5.0 starts at around $18k, and it's basically a regular 5.0 with a supercharger and a few bolt-ons.

This has some serious mods like h-beam rods, twin turbos, experimental block, carbon fiber intake, ported heads, racing cams, forged pistons, etc.. All that adds up to a lot of $$$

I'd love to see this in the GT500 and the Raptor as an option! If this engine actually becomes a reality in production vehicles, which I'm sure it will, it'll be a long time before you can get it in an F250. Hopefully that's about 4 years away when I'm ready to buy a new truck!!

Or a Lightning!!
