To continue their E-Series ... maybe Ford engineers figured out how to get better gas mileage (or power versus physical size) out of a new 7.3L gas motor than they were getting out of their 2-Valve V10?
BTW - It was quiet news, but Ford now sells the 6.2L in the E450 as well. More HP, but less torque and a lower GCWR.
