6.2l F150

[Albert1234]

It looks like Ford is working on a monster 6.2L V-8 for their F-150:

Link to the Detroit News article

I wonder if it will be a modern all aluminum, 4 valve per cylinder, DOHC engine with cast iron sleeves, or a hacked together aluminum head, cast iron block, 3 valve per cylinder, 100 year old push rod engine like their current Triton's. I wonder how they managed to attach an aluminum head to an iron block. The materials have completely different thermal expansion properties.

Attaching an aluminum head to an iron block is not uncommon. Lot's of companies do it. As for the motor, you can rest assured that Ford WILL put the same cast iron dinosaur of a motor that they tend to do. The current motor is not of the pushrod variety, however. It has a single overhead cam. The fact is that Ford, Chevy and Dodge all have a history of making more muscle with pure size. That is precisely why technology is coming to the forefront and making its presence known. The Titan is exactly what a V8 motor should be. Large and advanced. The fact is, what Ford should be doing is taking the 5.4 that they already have and improving on it. A larger motor is simply going to mean more dollars at the pump, which is the last thing that anyone needs at this point.

That way Ferd can say "Hey, we have 6.2L, Titan has 5.6L. Therefore, we win!!"

My friend had a really good motto he used when talking about certain vehicles: "You can dress up a piece of ****, make it go fast, tell everyone else how great it is, make it all shiny, and no matter what you do you still can't change the fact its still a piece of ****"

haha, ill believe this when i see it. ford really does need something though in the way of a more powerful engine, its a joke compared to the 5.6 and the hemi.

Yeah, it may be ugly, but it might spell the end of the "i smoked an f-150 today" threads. Kind of sad.

I dont think so, thats like the hemi ranting it beats the titan and all others at the track, towing, 0-60 etc. Well the rest of the pack have standard engines and the hemi is a optional engine. Adding a higher powered engine to the truck isnt a comparison of performance. The fact they had to put in a bigger engine to compete shows enough in itself.

I wonder what the gas mileage will be on this monster. Instead of adding displacement maybe they should make a more high tech DOHC engine which is more powerful and more fuel efficient.
