Good I think the general conception with this engine is its not over sized, does what it requires without being over the top...

Navigator never had a 5.0 in the past, but the Explorer did. New Explorer won't get it. Expedition - not sure, it's only got the 5.4 right now, it could get the EcoBoost or 6.2, I would say same for the Nav. Crown Vic is dead, there is no replacement for it at the moment. |

I guess the heavy duty trucks will still get the cast iron 3v blocks ??...
This should give Ford Aust a lighter package to build a chassis around..

Super Duty is F250 and up will use the 6.2 SOHC and the 6.7 turbo diesel engines. F 150 will get 5.0, 3.7 V6, later 3.5 Ecoboost, hopefully 4.4 turbo diesel will be added next year Panthers and E-Series van will plod along with stockpiled 2V engines and transmissions. |
