pickuptrucks.com Looks like Ford is going to give the SuperDuty a new 7.0 V-8 or V-10 in the coming years. :B

As of this writing it's Thursday 7:00 PM EDT, and no such announcement.
I have no regard for the current "news" practice of offering speculation as newsworthy.
7X or 7.0 litre
lots of bla bla bla but it was announced
Brian Maxim, a vice president at AutoForecast Solutions, said in a telephone interview that the 7.0-liter, V8 engine would have more torque and be more fuel efficient than the 6.8-liter V10 engine now built in Windsor and used in Ford's super-duty trucks, such as its F-250s.
I suspect that this announcement was news worthy to the Canadian's that build the 5.0 and 6.8 engines. And don't expect actual power numbers until right before product launch.
429 Cubic Inches got a nice ring to it. :B
