Ford makes it official. The new 7.3L V8 will be in both the F53 and E-Series, and will have more power and torque than outgoing V10. We’ll have to see if by outgoing they mean current 320 HP, or previous high of 362 HP.

It’s also very interesting that the media release mentions two engine calibrations for 7.3L when in E-Series. Maybe they will let driver choose between power and economy.
As separate topics, this information includes a new F-600 which splits difference between F-550 and F-650. Its basically an F-550 with higher GVWR — a natural for larger Super Cs?
There is also mention of suspension and steering upgrades to address F-53 handling.

Both F-53 and F-59, commonly used for walk-in vans, get a new steering column, instrument cluster and electrical architecture.
