The video confirms it is based on the BB Chevy motor. They must have bought the tooling or worked out a deal with GM.
The 270 hp rating is for class 7 trucks (GVWR of 33,000 lbs) that are expected to see a pretty heavy duty cycle. I suspect they can easily raise that hp rating for MH usage.
But still for such a heavy motor will the higher cost be worth it, they have only been making the 8.8 since 2011 and that's still rather new on the market, Ford needs to offer a turbo on the V-10 and that will wake it right up..
I'll take the one that delivers the most torque,....and located in the rear.
It must be nice to not have to worry about price.
