The new 7.3 V8 fits in the Mustang......

Do the Powerstroke have cylinder deactivation?

No. Torque regulation in 1st gear. That's it. All 8 hammers are a go at all times.

Using that argument, you kinda shot yourself in the foot. The performance car use case for Ford Motor Company is hybrid and alternative powertrain, not displacement. Gen 2 EcoBoost in the GT, EcoBoost base Mustang, 2021 Mustang hybrid, Gen 2 EcoBoost Raptor, and every ST vehicle features EcoBoost. Doesn't mean that they may not necessarily throw a curve ball but look at the real data too. I honestly don't think anyone is doubting the engine's potential. But the future of Mustang is not displacement based on Ford's behavior and dropped hints as of the last several years.

You know what I meant, we're not talking about the FoST and FiST here.

This convo is about the V8s!

7.3 Liters of N/A Fury with the A10 or 6 speed Tremec.
The 5.0 and 5.2 might make more power, but they'll never have that '60's Muscle Car feel.

It would probably break the Tremec with that amount of torque. I am with you on that though. It would be a fun ride.

The Tremec Magnum XL can handle 700-plus ft lbs of torque.

My mistake. I was thinking MT82

I don't see the problem.

Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken

I take it that you're not a Muscle Car fan?

Lets see 7.3 liters that in cubic inch would give us a Boss 439 Mustang

I am, but I am happy leaving the big blocks and straight line only focus back in the 60s. I love old muscle and pony cars, but for what they were. The 5.0L is a much better overall engine than anything from that era, and makes more power than almost everything put into a production car from before the clean air act (people love to wax poetic about overrated gross power numbers from that time).

My statement to those who want to spin tires with low revs: get a truck manifold and 4.09 gears. You'll have no problem. Or just get crappy tires like they had back then and then the stock car will do it easily.

I wouldn't be opposed to a new Boss 429 limited production run like the 12-13 Boss 302 using this motor. Leave the iron block, destroke it to 7.0L, and tune it for higher RPM operation (maybe cam change depending) and I think you could have a pretty fun NA Mustang. The engine in its current form weights only around 50lbs more then the coyote according to news reports. I have yet to see official weight numbers for the 500's 5.2 supercharged engine but I wouldn't be suprised if it was around the 500lbs mark also and would most certinaly have more weight on the nose due to the required heat exchangers/pumps and plumbing. A NA 7.0L with a lower CG and around 550-600hp might actually produce a better track car then the 500 (assuming other aspects of the vehicle remain the same)

These will probably be my plan once I pick up a used gt out of warranty. But I certainly wouldn't want to do this to a new $35000 gt and kill the warranty. There are still plenty of people that I know still want that low end torque in a performance car.

I always laugh at the ford displacement argument anyway.

An LT1 in the vet and Camaro weighs LESS and is shorter/lower profile than a 5.0.

Displacement has nothing to do with weight and size.
