Fords new 7.3 gas engine

[jackelope]

In order to work on this new engine are they going to have to take the cab off?

It's unknown to us at this point...but nothing current model requires cab removal.

jackelope, since you're our resident Ford guy, if you ever get a chance, could you suggest to the powers to be that we'd reallllllllly appreciate it if Ford would do a 5.0 Coyote Ecoboost for the F150. 

The supercharged 5.0 is kinda fun.
I drove one for a couple of days.
Oh my......

I'd be happy with a supercharged 5.0 Coyote motor in the F150 as a factory option too.  I had a TRD supercharger put on my 13 Tacoma when I bought it new and can tell you first hand, they make a BIG difference, and I'm only using the standard size pulley it came with, and easy swap to the next size smaller and you pick up another 30-40hp.

I've been reading there may be a special addition Ford Raptor coming out in 2020 that has the supercharged 5.2 motor from the Mustang GT500 which would be pretty fricken cool but unfortunately they'll probably want somewhere around 100K for one of those model Raptors. 

So if Jackelope can put the word into Ford, I would be plenty happy with a Ecoboost or Supercharged 5.0 Coyote motored F150 as a factory available option.

I've heard that Raptor is going to be a thing.

As far as your supercharger dreams, you can get a Roush dealer to install a supercharger on yours...the kit runs about 8 grand.

You could also buy a Raptor and send it to California to Hennessy Performance and have them turn it into a Velociraptor.

As far as your supercharger dreams, you can get a Roush dealer to install a supercharger on yours...the kit runs about 8 grand.

My bad, I forgot to add, along with wanting a boosted 5.0 Coyote motor, regardless of if it's turbos or SC, I want it to be "easy" and come as a factory option will full warranty that I can just go purchase from my local Ford dealer.  I'm not sure how the Roush SC setup works and if it voids any factory warranties.  I know with the TRD SC setup on my Tacoma, it was as if it came from the factory that way and did not void any part of the factory warranty. 

Not really asking for much, am I 

The "in block cam" thing was kinda funny and when I read that I rolled my eyes and thought, oh we've now come full circle because they're marketing a conventional cam setup as something new. lol 

But, I suppose, depending on your age, and the fact OHC motors have been more the "norm" for some time now, I could see some age groups not really knowing what, in block cam, really even means or thinking it was maybe something new.

We're not a Roush dealer, but I believe if you buy the truck with the supercharger setup from a Roush approved or certified or whatever you call it Ford dealer, it's covered under warranty. Ford Racing is all covered under warranty if dealer installed. We can do that.

an interesting fact, the last pushrod v8 ford designed was the 400, back in 1971.

Is that Because they ran with the 351C, 351W, 460 for thirty years?

Like Chevy ran the 350 for the same period

This motor has paused my purchase of the new ram with a 6.4 and a 8 speed, still may go that route, but i wanna see the 7.3 specs first.

Hasn't been mentioned yet, but its also going to be mated up to a 10 speed! Gonna be a powerhouse for a work truck for sure.
