Very INTERESTING...... In the second link look at the hood Looks like its gonna be alil bit bigger....... PickupTrucks.com: Upcoming Ford Scorpion Diesel Said To Have Big Sting


PickupTruck.com - Ford's New Scorpion Diesel V8 Spied


Food for thought......

 

cool, i hope it works out.

 

6.7l yet!!!

 

One day they'll be back to great 7.3L.

 

doubt that ever

7.3 couldnt keep up with the power of other company's diesels and it couldnt meet the emmision laws

If they ever run a 7.3 sized engine again it will not be anything like the 7.3 we know now.

 

i hope one day Ford will finally get or build better diesel than Cummie and end this pointless war forever

 

I was referring the the reliability of this motor. For it's time, it was one heck of a great motor. The 7.3 may not be the highest performance motor out there, but it had no major problems that I know of. There are always things that can be improved for performance, but in stock trim it is extremely reliable.

There's also no replacement for displacement.....

 

Isn't Navistar buying CAT's over the road engine division??? After ford falls on it's face with this engine and they go crawling back to navistar it is conceivable that you could find a yellow engine under the hood .. or at least a yellow engine painted like a navistar.

 

Dunno if Navistar did or if its being bought or not, but I was talkin to the CAT rep at work 2day and he said he got a 9 page book on how the OTR engine program isn't done yet. According to him, its just on hold and that the engine is ONLY goin to be offered in International trucks. More food for thought....

 

Well I've ALWAYS been a Ford man and the only reason I bought a Dodge is because of the Cummins. I just don't understand why the other two of the big three don't build inline six turbo diesels? It just doesn't make good business sense not to. Now if Ford would work on the RUMORS that have been goin on for ten years and put a Cat under the hood or an inline six turbo diesel I think they'd damn near monopolize the market and have 3/4 ton and up sales go through the roof. I doubt there's too many people that would disagree with me on this. I know I'd get a second job to buy one if they did that.
