Ford is starting to update information on the 6.2L V8 as tuned for E-Series. I had seen reports that the V8 would start production on 1/30/17, so it's probably not a coincidence this information is starting to come out now.

Power at 331 HP is higher than the V10's 305 HP. For those who care more about torque, it's rated at 356 lb-ft which is lower than the V10's 420 lb-ft.

A nice option is a 240-Amp alternator on the V8, which would fit right in on a motorhome.

The 6.2L V8 appears significantly detuned compared to its 385 HP and 430 lb-ft when installed in F-Series trucks. That's not surprising since Ford E-Series vans have never had more than 305 horsepower as far as I know. Emissions probably played a role in power and torque ratings.

It will be interesting to see what the cost difference ends up at.
