So will they keep the 6.2 for the F-250 and F-350 and only use the engine in medium duty truck's?
No, the engine is definitely slated for the Raptor which is why there are rumors of some different versions. Apparently a fair number of people in the market for a Raptor insist on the V8 sound though there may be more involved. It may even show up in other versions of the F150. The 7.3 is supposed to replace the V10 and the 6.2 with newer and more efficient technology. There is a lot of speculation on YouTube about the engine but not a whole lot of hard facts. I think that it is fair to say that Ford wants to drop the V10, improve on the 6.2, hold on to their considerable chunk of the medium duty and motorhome markets, both class A and class C, and offer another option for Raptor all in one basic engine. They are still producing two versions of the V10, a two valve for the class C market and the three valve for the medium duty and class A markets so some different versions of the new engine would not be a big stretch.
