Ford Introduces Big New Truck Engine

In reply to alfadriver :

Heck, the test procedure based on engine specs is nothing new.  In the 1990s, Nissan lowered the redline on the US-bound SR20DE engines so that they would have more advantageous operating conditions on the test cycle.

Except that the cycle that the SR20DE drove never changed based on the engine output.  That cycle has been the same since the start of the Clean Air Act.  And the US06 test that was added in the 90's really doesn't change due to engine output, although back then there were allowances for low power engines- not due to the actual number, but because the car could not keep up with the trace.  And that allowance has gone away.

Whereas the actual dyno cycle depends on the numerical output that the OEM specifies.  

Similar, but not the same.

Ford says the 7.3 will fit in the Mustang and F-150. Hello 7.3 Raptor?

4 pages in and nobody's said how they want to stick a pair of eBay-special beijing airbenders on this thing and crank the boost up as high as it can safely go?

That goes without saying...

Meh.  Fords version of a LSx, which is GM's version of  their NASCAR engine which is a copy of every good Ford engine all rolled into one.

(and no, I did not read all 4 pages before writing this.)

FTFY

And I in turn, fixed your fix.
