FYI - before spending big bucks on mods - maybe "patience is prudent"...see the January, 2020 issue of Hot Rod Mag.
See article: Ford Releases a Big-Inch Beast. An Inside look at Ford's all-new 7.3L (gas) pushrod V8 - - ("designed to replace the 6.8L V-10 that Ford has used since 1997").
"Ford will use the big-inch small block in it's trucks, namely the F-250, F-350, F-450, and in various commercial and fleet applications including motor homes and delivery trucks."
Will it be avail for aftermarket applications - and at what cost?
