Mustangs and F150s might get a taste of big block power! Link Ford Mustang To Get 6.8L V8 Engine, Says Union Leader

There is something to be noted with this statement. The 1000ftlb number ford gives you is at the crank, the 7.3s 600ftlbs is at the rear wheels, this narrows the margin some. The early 6.7s were about 640ftlb to the wheels.

How long before ford supercharges one factory and throws it in the Raptor? Im real interested to see how it will handle towing 20k over a extended period of time, if they can get the heat under control it will be a home run imo.

Im curious when the direct injection ports in the heads will be used. Maybe a performance version for the Raptor?

Cam swap and a custom intake made almost 600hp with everything else stock. Impressive.They are just scratching the surface of this engines potential.

Unofficially 27HP and 38tq on 87octane..So that would make it approx 457hp and 513tq, these are the numbers I think most were expecting to see from the factory. Will be fun to see what they come up with on 93octane.

Pretty sure the moderators would ban me if I posted the empty cup pics haha. A couple more..;)

Just a topless resort in Cancun.

From our recent mexico trip.

If they are still under embargo they are definitely not for sale on lots yet then.

I believe those are preproduction units and not actually for sale from what iv gathered?

There is very little real world info on the 7.3, the media hasn't even test drove it yet. I bet it will be late Dec before they are on the lots.

With the 4.30 and 10spd the final ratio is almost the same as the 3.73 with the 6spd. I don't know why anyone wouldn't go with the 4.30s when you have a 10spd.

I agree, plenty of over drive gears to still get good fuel mileage even with the 4:30s.

3:73 and 4:30 are the 10spd gasser options.
