A little more on the New ford trickeling out

Another article on the new Ford Gasser, still no official HP/torque specs though.

Ford is being rather miserly with the story on this one.
  • Removal of emissions compliant software and hardware means the vehicle is no longer marketable unless it's replaced prior to. I guess you plan on keeping it forever but that don't appear to be the way things work today.

    There is a pronounced shift away from diesel powered light duty trucks to gas powered ones because emissions compliant diesels are having issues. Don't fret. The EPA is considering adding particulate filters (aka) DPF units and regen hardware to gasoline engines too. Consequently, the fun will begin with gas engines too.

    BTW, Europe already has them, we are just behind the 8 ball, not in front of it.

    Knowing this forum, I'm sure I'll get the usual snarky replies....

    Why remove the emissions equipment, don’t you like to obey laws and breath clean air?


    Because I want to, depends on the law, and yes which is why I don't live in a population dense area.


    Doesn't SATX mean San Antonio, TX?

    Still wondering how much power this engine will make. Especially in the aftermarket once you remove the "made to meet emissions" valve/ignition timing.

  • That story has been out for over a year, but made me look. :)
