the 4.6 modular that replaces the 302 (5.0) was awesome. it was not up to par for todays output numbers but it was bullet proof and easy to wrench on. I have the coyote 5L in mine and I love it. I'm sure this will be similar tec. the new 7.3 L coming has me more excited. heard it was old tec push rod motor that ill actually know how to work on. both build in my back yard.

I like the 3.5 eco boost but there is too much extra to go wrong for too little gain. cousin has one. his numbers are close to the same as mine but he had to pay for it and while ill never change a turbo........ he will. now if I could change the NA 3.5 in my explorer for the 3.5 eco in the sport trim id be on that like a fat kid on cake.

Never been a blue oval guy but have driven Ford trucks almost exclusively for that last 25 years daily as work trucks.
The 4.6 is a great engine IMO. Enough so that I sought out that for our son's car. And save for the breakaway spark plugs (which I corrected already) they are like you said pretty bulletproof and easy to work on.
Bang for the buck, that little 300hp engine absolutely rips.

I spent enough time back in the 90s and early 2000s driving 4.6s and 5.4s with my foot to the floorboard all day running 4000-5000 rpms nonstop with a trailer hooked up to have some faith in them.
And the couple 5.0 Coyote engine trucks I had pulled better than any 1/2 ton at the time and side by side, seemed to have the same towing power as the 6.2 in the F250s. Both also great engines.
