That ship has sailed. Chevrolet already has a twin turbo 5.5L DOHC (capable of 454 cubic inches) slated for the mid engine corvette and says this will be the foundation for all performance engines to come. Next stop; Camaro. Big bore stroker kits will be a dime a dozen for that engine. Yay...

The cool thing is: The 7.0 will be DOHC. It's retrofit time! Wheres that shoe horn?

You get an "A" for optimism. Yes, the technology they've been working on makes the future of hotrodding look very interesting. Looks like there's no shortage of power potential on the horizon. Check out Tesla's 8 second quarter mile luxury sports car.

While I would prefer the 6.2 based DOHC variant and I am disappointed in Fords persistence on hamstringing us with tiny engines I do appreciate the 5.2L supercharged hybrid effort. But no sooner do I talk myself into appreciating what Ford has done I see Chevy has already upped the game...

Winner.

I will vomit. Ford will be the laughing stock of red blooded American hot rodders everywhere. While Chevrolet is introducing their new 6.2L DOHC 4 valve monster, Ford will be popping their metro sexual turbo 6 in the Mustang? NO. NO, NO, NO, NO. I don't care if makes 10,000 horsepower and fly's...

I don't know the details but I want to assume the best. The article below tells us that a 7.X L engine is already done and it has more torque and better fuel efficiency that the smaller 6.8L V10. The V10 is inherently a more efficient design and there's nothing you can't do to a V10 to increase...

It's already done. It's going in the heavy duty truck line. Change the intake manifold and cam timing and it's ready for the Mustang.

Confirmed: New 7.0L V8 for Ford Truck: http://www.autonews.com/article/20170329/COPY01/303299913/ford-execs-to-make-announcement-in-windsor-on-thursday Said to be "more efficient" than current V10. That can only mean one thing: DOHC 7.0 If that doesnt make it's way into the Mustang...

Oh sure, plenty of power can be made no doubt but just imagine what the Chevy guys will be able to do with a 6.2L platform capable of 440 cubic inches & some monster ported 4 valve heads. They won't even need a blower to decimate the GT500.

So, Chevrolet is coming out with a 6.2L DOHC monster and Fords going backwards 10 years to something smaller than the original 5.4L GT500 powerplants? Yes, I know the heads are slightly better out of the box but the eternal Achilles heal for Ford is the lack of cubic inches. I don't think I'm...

Heres the second confirmation for Chevrolet's new DOHC V8, With a FLAT PLANE crank. http://blog.caranddriver.com/a-new-chevrolet-camaro-z28-is-still-on-the-way-heres-everything-we-know/ Does anybody really think Ford doesn't plan on answering that call out? It's bad enough they drug their...

I doubt it. Chevrolet is going naturally aspirated in the Corvette with their DOHC 6.2. Seems like all manufactures try to remains on a somewhat level playing field. But fact is, I don't know.

DOHC head was designed several years ago. Ford said they didn't use it because of some baloney about not passing emissions.
