New Ford Gas 7.3L V8 and 10-speed TorqShift
Have read with interest about the new gas 7.3L V8 and 10-speed TorqShift for the Ford 2020 SuperDuty Trucks. The question is when this power train will show up in the E450 cutaway chassis. https://w...

IMO, the article is typical magazine tech writer drivel. You can't just compare one engines cubic inch displacement with another to predict the power output. Especially if one engine is a V10 and the other is a V8. The V10 is a higher revving overhead cam design and the V8 has pushrods. The V10 for the F53 has 3 valves per cylinder. 2 intake, 1 exhaust. The V8, I'm not sure. The V10 has been production for +- 20 years. The V8 design is old, but it is new . . . . . again.
Clearly the new V8 will be cheaper to build than the V10. But, what about the volumetric efficiency? Smaller cylinders are typically better than larger ones. Oh well, . . . . . we'll just have to wait and see what Ford says about the new engine they designed and built. Who knows, the numbers could be better!
