nibot kram Yea, I’m really excited for Ford and anxious to see the numbers on this engine. The ONLY thing I wish they would have engineered in would have been a wet sleeve design with drop-in cylinder liners. I’m sure this engine will be plenty durable, but it would have been a nice touch for fleet service to be able to swap in new liners and rings. I really liked the intake manifold too. That big open air space under the plenum will keep things nice and cool, so this thing should be able to lug! Hard pulling at 2,800 rpm with no pinging. Can’t wait to see it in action. 🤠

[@Fixin-To]

100% Agree

[@mark7067]

@ So how is it a big block? It's still relatively compact by most V8 standards.

[@mark7067]

@ No, you're only partially correct. Cranks, rods and bearings having nothing to do with this. There are big blocks with smaller and weaker internals than small blocks. Big block refers to the relatively larger physical size and architecture of the block, nothing more. The physically size of this block is about like any other OHV V8 engine today. In fact, bore spacing is closer to an LS than any older big blocks. An LSX has bore spacing of 111.8mm. A Chrysler LA has spacing of 113.3mm. This engine is 115mm. An older Ford big block had bore spacing of 124.46mm, and most other true big blocks were similar to that. Like other small blocks, this engine supports large displacement, but it's still physically closer to your typical small block in overall dimensions. Maybe you should do some research before spreading dumb comments, huh?

[@scott-michael812]

Sounds like they're using 7.3 as a marketing strategy because people loved the 7.3 diesel. Just a quick assumption.

didn't think we'd have that many liters in a new engine coming out in this day and age.

[@just_another_gearhead]

I'd bet cylinder deactivation to cheat the EPA guidlines. And with a beefier block design they may also be able to get away with running the engine super lean with forged pistons and maximizing cooling efficiency both internally and externally to dissipate the excessive heat produced from running a lean mixture hence the "special" header style manifolds with cold air injection and air gap intake mani. Itd be a game changer if it works as they say...because itll be an awesome and easy engine to tune and make power from.

[@ratman5727]

As a GM guy, I have to say that Ford hit the nail on the head with this one! I especially like the fact that it doesn't have siamesed bores like the new GM 6.6 does (even though there are small holes through the webs). The extra cooling on the non-siamesed 7.3 will provide a much better duty cycle when the engine is operated full tilt for extended periods, -not to mention, the bores will stay more round and reduce oil consumption. This looks to be a very well designed and stout engine. I was wondering how long it would be before the big gas engines came back, -since the diesel engines these days are so expensive to maintain and have so many failure-prone emissions stuff on them. I think this one is going to be a winner!

[@hugeCRSfan69]

right on brother! the EPA is destroying diesels and making them almost impossible to own, lets bring back big block power! no replacement for displacement, reliable, tried and true!

[@celticrunes1911]

Ratman572 Thank you for being sensible and not just brand-loyal. Ford definitely knocked this one out of the park. And after diesel emissions have forced them into what they are now, GM definitely needs to bring back a big block. Hell, just ‘modernize’ the 8.1 for today’s requirements and you don’t have to go back to the drawing board from scratch. The 8100 was a BEAST in its time!

[@notmirelnam248]

Funny comment, but there's a pretty solid engineering reason why using four turbos would be a terrible idea. Twin turbos only came into fashion because they could use a smaller turbo to offset the lag that exists before the larger turbo begins to spool up to optimum power. The downside is that they rob power over a traditional large single turbo setup. A single turbo is very laggy, but it produces the most power once it gets going. A quad turbo would choke so much performance, cost so much to manufacture, take up too much space, and weigh too much for anyone to ever bother attempting it. HOWEVER, with a V engine, you could use a twin turbo setup off of each exhaust header for a combined quad turbo setup, but the drawbacks already mentioned (namely expense) would still be a problem. There's no point in using it even in high-end expensive sports cars, because the added weight would adversely affect handling. From cost, handling, reliability, upkeep costs, power, or any other consideration, it fails the cost-benefit analysis.

Many motor home people are unnerved by the high revving of the V10 when climbing long grades. For the F250/350 buyers it will make many who are on the fence about diesel go toward this engine. I LIKE pushrod engines. No stupid long chains running around, and pushrod engines are shorter and narrower.

[@ahines8032]

Yep. 460 doesn't work hard in a RV

[@josephsamsor1698]

A Hines yeah but the 6 and below mpg is what’s gets ya lol. Basically cheaper to just get a nice hotel depending on where you’re going sometimes.

[@stevem7633]

Yay! No cam phasers! !!!

[@nickgraham7813]

Steve M wonder how t "vct" he kept mentioning works?

[@D4x4Bronc]

nice and cam phaser like

[@stellingbanjodude]

Vct = variable cam timing, which means.......cam phaser or actuator if you prefer

[@andyharman3022]

Nope. It has a cam phaser.

They need to bring back the 7.3l powerstroke

[@christopherd2100]

They kept it around for as long as they could. They'd have to redesign it for modern emissions regulations.

[@cumminspower9159]

brandon neil the 7.3 was so underpowered, lasted forever, but couldn’t get the mileage of a cummins, or lugging power, or longevity.... and they simply couldn’t compete until the 6.0, and no I’m not roasting Ford too hard because I am a ford guy but I own cummins because I can’t afford a 6.7 powerstroke, my dad owns one and friends own the cummins and honestly the power stroke pulls and performs better.

[@jerrywyant5409]

Just said 7.3 is best size

[@williamkillingsworth2619]

No they don’t. Have you driven a 6.7. They are the shit!

6 bolt main block....they finally gave in and seen that LS main design WORKS

[@johnrunion7258]

Ford used crossbolted mains on their highrise 427 FE engines way back in the '60s,when it dominated the Hemi.Was outlawed by NASCAR as result of Chrysler whining losers.So good idea Chevy.

[@jeremybrooks335]

I’m glad somebody seen my sarcasm. Thank you for that. Since we’re on the same page I know it’s not many of the old FE 427’s still around...I’m 34 but I’ve only seen one and it was in a fairlane. He showed me pictures of what he had to do to the frame to support all of that torque...goodness

7.3 is 100% marketing. 7.3 powerstroke anyone?

thaddeusabear thank you. Finally someone said it. Calculated my ass. They made a 7.3 for nostalgia.

Send that thing over to engine masters for some boost! If it's built like that stock it's going to handle bolt on boost better than the LS motors

[@EGGINFOOLS]

What made you say that? They aren't even in the same class. Using a LS as the benchmark just speaks for what a small displacement small block from GM can do.

[@richardmiller1256]

@@EGGINFOOLS because the LS motors do so well with boost. If the new Ford motor is build with parts typically used in turbo motors, maybe they will have as strong an aftermarket support as the LS. I wasn't trying to compare Dyno numbers or anything. Just speaking to the popularity if the LS as a comparison.

@@richardmiller1256 I totally agree. I hope people do just that. It would be killer

can we please get it in the Raptor????

[@michaelmathis1961]

I remember the 460 I had in an F 250 4x4 and I had 160 k miles on it and it was one tough engine! What ever you did to it and how you drove it, you always got about 8 mpg! lol

[@ryanh1222]

That is why mine got replaced with a 12 valve Cummins

[@andrewsatkowiak2700]

Must have been something wrong, I get 12 on my carburated 460 no matter what. No matter how hard you drive it. But it's old school, no computer bullshit.

[@killacoiler1707]

A modern replacement for the retired 460. I am curious to see what the numbers are going to be power wise and MPG although most commercial vehicles are not MPG rated.

[@irishhandyman2009]

Not MPG, more like GPM. Had a 95 F250 with the 460, it would pass everything but a gas station. I can honestly say I never lacked for power when I needed it tho.

[@gmfan6029]

I'm sure this will be a good truck engine. Be cool to see big blocks make a comeback. With all of the emissions on diesels I think big blocks make sense.

[@danialphaomega]

390hp @ 5,500 RPM 510 TQ @ 2,500 RPM But tune it will be 600HP v8

[@3rdGenGuy]

not on an engine designed for low RPM power. look at the Vortec 8100 same concept here

[@SM120THBORE]

The difference between an engineer and a mechanic (as I am) when it comes to how a narrow engine is: Engineer: thinks about how many vehicles he can keep the exact same engine in Mechanic: sees how much easier it will be to work around the engine

[@chrisrandom1404]

Truth. It's nice to see engineers design something that isn't a pain to work on. Even if that wasn't their intention.
