Ford's EOY 2015 UAW Contract page 8 under Romeo engine plant investments. Ford has grabbed truck displacements before and used for the Mustang. I'd bet the new 6.2 derivative is a 5.8 or maybe slightly smaller. Very few posting on here have posted much in the way of technical reasoning...

Ford will be releasing a new displacement 6.2-based V8, this is 100% confirmed. Meaning 115-mm bores. I think there's a strong possibility this may be the new GT500 engine. When Ford released the original '07 GT500 it was the world's worst kept secret that it was a 5.4DOHC. 5.4 had been a truck...

Why would they settle for anything less than 707?

So to continue with this rampant speculation. We all know the easiest way to increase power is to go with more displacement. That makes running a 5.0 or 5.2 somewhat of a longshot. Ford was already having problems running all of their extreme durability testing on the Trinity 5.8 due to the...

Seems to me it's against their mantra of using smaller displacements with much greater efficiency. A 6.2 just wouldn't be fair for everyone else to have to compete against. The GM and Mopar fanboys would lose their minds.

Wow! Great info! I've spent hours reasoning out from an engineering perspective how they'd do it given packaging constraints. I came to my conclusion reasoned out in the post above. Makes perfect sense.

I occasionally lurk here but registered to respond to your message. Yes, the 6.2 would be perfect, or that architecture at least. I responded in a thread on SVTP about the upcoming GT500. I found an old article on MM&FF from 2010 speaking to a Ford exec about the 6.2 and he said unequivocally...
