It will never see a Light Duty or a car because of epa / cafe.
Also the Ecoboost rapes the old 6.2 Raptor.
UPDATE :: Return of the Pushrod | Ford's New 7.3L Engine is Actually an OHV V8

Also the Ecoboost rapes the old 6.2 Raptor.
That would be my guess, unless it is in a very modified form. Would be nice to see Crusader make a marine version of it though.
the 6.2L was never built as a performance engine so it's no surprise a heavily built motor huffing down 20+ psi of boost will rape it. Out of all the NA motors in fords portfolio the 6.2L has the least state of tune, lowest compression, lowest redline,..etc. They weren't even trying...
Ford's culture and marketing is just against large displacement and has been for 20+ years.
meanwhile, FCA is about to drop a detuned hellcat motor in the ram

Visions of this in a fox body..
People are already putting 460cid (7.5 liter) SBF in fox bodies...
In performance yes but not in reliablity
You know, the old 6.0 Power Stroke was a 4v pushrod engine. Say what you will about its reliability because of the cooling system, but that little 6.0L made some big power with boost.
A little stronger casting on the "1 into 2" rocker arm design for 5K+ RPM use and you got a good flowing pushrod 4v gas burner. Using that engine as a point of reference, a 4V pushrod gas engine should be easy to implement.

About the block material being grayiron or CGI it´s more likely it will be CGI as the new lines at Windsor plant will have a complete reneval of its machiningequipment
Machining grey iron was already on the menue
---------------------
Tony Savoni says the computer controlled metal machining equipment that will be installed will give the plant lots of flexibility.
“The good news is with company investing in CNCs,” said Savoni. “It’s fantastic for us. It does allow us to quickly retool or upgrade for future product.”

I would love for ford to bring back a thunderbolt type muscle car with this engine. Would buy immediately'
I'd like to see some classic Ford muscle powered by a large cube modern tech FORD bullet.
The real question---any new real data on this engine?

Fake News
All fake. That site reeks of click bait.
It's a 7.3L, OHV, with no plans to be in anything but heavy trucks.
Granted. But how cool would it be? Also, i wonder if they will sell the crate engine with fi.
No crate engine plans at this time.
Well sid. You sure are crapping all over my excitment. Thanks. Lol
Better to have the crap spread over your excitement than have it fed to you.
Agreed that site isn't credible, and I can see Ford keeping a heavy CGI-blocked 7.x OHC specifically for heavy industrial truck use. It's a good idea.
That's not to say I don't hope that Ford recognizes what they have in the potential for a 7L DOHC all aluminum modern power plant.
I submitted and had an application for an Engine Masters build back in 2013 based on the 6.2 Raptor SOHC. There is so much potential in that motor, especially if aluminum DOHC, so it'll be interesting to see how much of this new 7X engine is related.
Would be nice to see some real information on this engine and the next GT500, but in due time.

"Windsor Operations
The company agreed that the Windsor Site will receive a
significant investment to create a sole global manufacturing
source for an all new large displacement engine program (7.xL)
that will support multiple premium vehicle nameplates with
enhanced fuel economy and emission reductions. This will
include all associated engine assembly as well as rod, crankshaft,
cylinder head, block cubing and cylinder block machining. This
engine will supply next generation, high volume products planned
for 2020 model year production.
The company committed to the union that the Essex Engine Plant
will remain the sole source for all 5.0 litre engine assembly and
current component machining, and any potential derivatives from
its base design architecture. The company also committed that
the Windsor Engine Plant will continue to operate and be the sole
source for all 6.8 litre engine assembly and current component
machining, and that the 6.8L engine program will continue
through its product life cycle which may extend beyond the life
of this agreement (based on market conditions and customer
demand). Eventually, the associated volume will transition to the
aforementioned new large displacement engine.
Current application vehicles for the 6.8L engine will extend
through 2020.
The company also committed to continue production of the
Nano cylinder heads at the WEP Annex for the duration of this
agreement.
In addition, the company has reconfirmed significant technology
upgrades to the current 5.0L engine program at the Essex Engine
Plant to allow for expanded application of Spray Bore technology.
This technology investment is planned for the 2018 model year.
