Reading up on the 7.3, it is a clone of the GM small blocks. OHV with single cam variable valve timing, cast iron block, variable oil pump, oil jet cooling on the pistons, and port injection.

Basically,

Which 6.2 are you speaking of?

Your benefit is why I would never buy a Lincoln.

Lmao

At least it sounds like a V8 in the truck

Changing a belt doesn’t require a fully equipped shop.

I’ve forgotten more about trans swaps, head gasket changes and full motor changes than most people will know.

Exactly!

A lot of times it’s the filter when they are cold.

200k in that era was a pretty good life for a transmission

Ford went to the ecoboost because GM wouldn’t sell them a decent V8.

Oh Please.

Too bad Ford is still getting spanked in sales.

14 second quarter mile in a large SUV.

Have you seen the sales disparity between the GM large SUV’s to even the new Exp/ Nav?

Based on what?

I would expect the 550hp 4.2L TTV8 to show up in at least one of those in the next few years.

Perfect analogy and description!!!!

Not sure about the latest version, but the 5.0 has been a peaky motor with performance that usually requires revving the piss out of it.
