"In addition, the 7.3-liter uses an all-new cam-in-block, overhead-valve architecture . . . . ."
I'm not sure what is "all-new" about that cam/valve configuration. Much less complicated, yes, fewer parts, yes, but, time will tell what tricks the Ford engineers have up their sleeve to get more out of less. Back to the 2 valve design on the F53 also? Interesting.
