[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 16515205, member: 171475"] First off, I've been saying for a while now, on good account that Ford is not happy with the 5.0 Coyote in both production cost and in warranty cost. It's not a bad engine, but face it, you have 4x the cams, twice the machine work and any type of warranty claim is going to take more time because the engines are crammed in there... The engine is also a dead end, with no real room to grow in displacement or way to modularize it across other engines or configurations. GM and Dodge have both shown that VVT, Cylinder Deactivation, Direct Injection, etc help OHV engines achieve comparable emissions, power and fuel economy. Their engines also are able to support 4.8 - 6.6L of displacement while staying the same physical size. Ford has also been struggling in the HD gas game because the 5.4 and 6.2 are turds, so it made sense to make a new engine and they went OHV for cost, maintenance and service. Only makes sense they'd trickle that development down into the Mustang and F150. For those that can't grasp that "displacement" has zero to do with physical size.
