I certainly hope they don't have a 3V like the V10. That's such old technology.

With any luck Ford will make it a Double Over Head Cam engine from the onset with 4 valves per cylinder. That way they can use independent variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust. That's the way they are getting high torque, high power, high fuel efficiency, and lower emissions.

If they take shortcuts to save on cost, it will be disappointing.


By the way, the engine program was 7.xL, meaning anything from 7.0 to 7.9 liters in size. The press ran with 7.0 but there is no confirmation of that size. The previously disclosed 7.3 liters seems very possible to me based on likely bore and stroke dimensions.
