[QUOTE="walt460, post: 16341552, member: 100445"] I have been collecting information on the new 7.3L and I am certain it will be the choice for a lot of engine swaps in years to come. It is very heavy, but compact for 7.3L. (Estimate puts it at nearly 700# fully dressed) It is designed as a torque monster, and it delivers making nearly 400 ft-lbs at just 1500 RPM. Hot Rod magazine claims it is no wider than a 351W . It comes with a power steering pump, as F250s do not have EPAS. It has cast stainless steel exhaust manifolds that look like they belong on a 60's big block. Block is good for 1000HP as is the forged crank. Pistons are similar design to 3.5L Eco, so should be good for 10# boost at least. Valvetrain designed for low friction but heavy pushrods and lifters will limit RPM even with a cam change. It is PFI only not DFI, but designed for DFI to be added (as like would be needed for use in a F150, and/or a Raptor......) Any trans that bolts to a mod motor will bolt to this motor. It cost less to make than the V10 I think the aftermarket or Ford Performance will soon provide custom oil pans, and other parts needed to allow retrofit to earlier model cars and trucks (off-road use only) I would like to know: -actual dimensions -if it uses the typical Ford crank and cam sensors -actual weight -when do we get an aluminum block I will be designing a harness as soon as I get a 2020 F250 wiring manual and a take-off factory harness.
