As above, our resident insiders have said there are no plans for a big NA engine. But after reading posts like these I canât help but remain a little hopeful. Iâve tilted at windmills before. Why stop now :headbonk:I agree; Cuda' is a long standing rumor but you know what, Detroit needs to send the dinosaur fueled cars out with a bang because electric is just around the corner. : 426 Hemi, L-88 427 and of course Boss 429. The same high water mark that was the culmination of the original muscle car era of the 60's. BOOM.
We know Ford is already utilizing the 6.2L based small block for the 7+L 427/428/429 slated for the Super Duty truck (that block is capable of 440 cubic inches by the way). And according to the "Ford Insider" from the SpeedTwitch article (which we know wasnt 100% accurate) that same engine was to "be sent to FPTC (Ford Performance Technical Center) in Concord for the addition of âgo-fastâ parts".
So, the engine is built, that we know. Maybe Ford intended to double duty it between the Super Duty and a special Mustang, maybe not. But how hard is it to clearance the inner fender wells and slap a Boss 429 hood scoop for clearance?
And all this talk about how difficult meeting emissions would be just doesnt ring true. Between direct injection, variable cam timing, cylinder deactivation and all the other tricks available there's no way they couldn't get this thing emissions approved. Just not buying it.
5.8 is already dead, last time Ford used it it was on the 2014 GT500.Last I heard the 6.2 won't fit the Mustang so I believe that makes it the 5.8, if it's still in use anyplace. I've seen a 5.8 Trinity get up to 364.
Maybe not a "Special Mustang" but a "Special F150" (i.e. a 7.3L for the Raptor? hahahaha I know, I'm dreaming.We know Ford is already utilizing the 6.2L based small block for the 7+L 427/428/429 slated for the Super Duty truck (that block is capable of 440 cubic inches by the way).

Ford is focusing in "hybridization" instead of "Big Blocks", that's not a secret. I'm pretty sure we won't see a a bigger displacement engine than the 5.2L in the near future for the Mustang.Topnotch this is all your fault, buddy, getting people's hopes for a 7 litre.
If you all remember the oil weight sheet that was leaked a few months back there was a new 7.3 litre petrol on there as well. Obviously for the F Series but at least you can't say Doesn't have a big block.
I'm trusting that document even more now since most of the items on there, are being confirmed going into production, let's review each one of them:I don't trust that document at all... IIRC there are items on there that have already been confirmed non-existent
I don't think that "It just doesn't fit" it's a "lame and weak excuse". There's no way a 7.0 OHC fits easily in the S550 engine bay. Also.... I don't think the SuperDuty 7.3 will be higher than 450HP.I agree with everything said, 429 is a long shot, especially with Raj Nair getting canned. I just think the excuses for not doing the car are lame and weak.
To get back on track, I do think the 700+ supercharged 5.2 is impressive, no two ways about it. However, with a big DOHC V8 confirmed from Chevy and an 800+ horse Hemi (and maybe a 426) from Dodge, well... the competition is equally impressive if not more so.
Finally beat you to an article Topnotch! Post 2330.
That wasnât a document leak, just some report from analysts. There was, however a leaked photo from the infamous ZERV character on a particular forum. It was labeled LT7 and showed what appeared to be a Twin Turbo DOHC V8, and this ZERV character later leaked a full picture of the engine. The specifics are completely unknown. 5.5L is the most likely displacement considering that the C7.R and Cadillac DPi use that displacement and the industry analysis from November mentioned a 5.5L DOHC V8. At launch this LT7 could make anywhere from 570hp-800hp; I say this because we simply donât know if the first Mid engine Corvette will be a high performance model or a Base model.The Mid engine manufacturing docs were leaked 6 months ago. there are forecasted numbers for it already. I doubt they take it much over 800 tho.
I can't wait to to see the GM ME
I provided a link but realize it's prohibited to link other forums.
I have a Ford 6.2l on the engine stand at my parents shop. It really isn't any wider than a Coyote motor. It is a couple of inches longer and I think it may be a little taller. I don't know how much wider a 4 valve version would be.I don't think that "It just doesn't fit" it's a "lame and weak excuse". There's no way a 7.0 OHC fits easily in the S550 engine bay. Also.... I don't think the SuperDuty 7.3 will be higher than 450HP.
The "BIG TT DOHC V8" from Chevy is not confirmed just yet, there is only drawings for the Corvette C8 but nothing else. Now.... Dodge, They have a 808/840HP Engine.... however, don't expect to see that kind of power carried over to the Hellcat in the near future, and 426? from Dodge? It ain't gonna happen.
Isnt it already in the Transit?2.0L Diesel: (Pending to be confirmed) So far, there is no car confirmed for America to carry this kind of engine... however the recently presented Ranger Raptor will use a Twin Turbo Diesel 2.0, so It might mean that the Ranger could get a 2 Liter Diesel in the future, but maybe not in a Raptor spec... or maybe for the Edge like in europe... or the Transit.
Interesting, I thought I saw in another thread that at least 4 of them were confirmed to be not happening. I'm probably getting it mixed up with something elseI'm trusting that document even more now since most of the items on there, are being confirmed going into production, let's review each one of them
