A little more on the New ford trickeling out
Another article on the new Ford Gasser, still no official HP/torque specs though. article Ford is being rather miserly with the story on this one.
Forum Discussion
The specs don't meet the expectations for power and torque that I have seen but 300hp seems to be the norm for a lot of 26,000lb trucks anyway. It sounds like Ford went more after fuel economy and durability. An interesting quote from deeper in the article:
"A dyno-certified version of the 7.3-liter V8 producing 350 horsepower at 3,900 rpm and 468 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,900 rpm will be standard on F-450 chassis cab, F-550, the new F-600, F-650 and F-750 Medium Duty trucks, and F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models."
