Well the current 6.2 is pretty much a big block as it is, being bigger than the 5.4. There was supposed to be a 7 litre version of the 6.2 but it never made production. Ford even tested a high performance 777 all alloy version of it for Mustang. 7 litres, 7000 rpm, 700 hp. There was a Mustang drag car that ran it.

Looks like something they're testing for a NASA program!

I don't believe it. Most performance engines seam to be 6 cylinders these days.

I think it will come - probably 7 litre V8. The current V10 has still a big market - it's basically the default gas engine in the RV industry and still very popular in F550 and above.

There is probably a place for it too in the F250 to F450 as diesel struggles a bit in the US due to emissions and reputation to be hugely expensive to fix. There are many who want to move away from diesel to gas but a bigger gas engine is needed.

Very true. The efficiency advantage of a small turbo engine seems to diminish in work applications. Sometime it's worse. They need to compete with Ram's 6.4 V8 Hemi. Has advantages of lower purchase price, more cost effective maintenance, quicker cold weather starts, no DPF clogging on short runs, and the ability to convert to alternative fuels. I also think it will be a V8 rather than a V10.

I'm actually disappointed by this news, surely this is a perfect opportunity for an EcoBoost V8. I can only imagine they want something lower cost then. My pick would be the V8 based V10 done just like the original, based off the 5.0L. Would only stretch out to 6.2 like the existing Boss but potentially make 480HP/480LB-ft vs 380/430 from the 6.2 in current Super Duty.

The Fast Lane Truck mentioned a Ford engineer had confirmed Ford had been testing an EcoBoost V8 Super Duty, and that it killed the 6.7L diesel in pulling performance. Makes sense, but can't validate the accuracy of that. I don't think a new big block means that it won't happen. They could have both.

Introduces more complexity, heat and cost though. A big block is far less stressed.
