[QUOTE="blackvette101, post: 13753437, member: 130072"] Unfortunately it's not about power it's about money and government regulations. It doesn't make logical sense to keep an engine line going for one specialty vehicle. And it doesn't make logical sense to use 5.8 liters when you can do it with 5 or 5.2 in terms of CAFE. What we do know is Ford announced it's globally reducing it's engine families. from 9-10 to 3-4. This spreads development costs over multiple platforms and reduces production costs since they can buy material in bigger bulk. Ford also announced that they closed down the condor/trinity production line for 10 months to retool it. If they were planning on just recycling the trinity this would not have happened. They are either updating the trinity significantly or have a new engine in the works. In the coming years I fully expect Ford to have one three, four, six, and eight cylinder engine with Forced induction added on specialty models for high performance and electric hybrid systems added for MPG on models designed to boost CAFE. It doesn't make sense money wise to use a completely different engine for one model when you can just add better parts and FI to the same foundation. This is the way the automotive world is going.
