I never understood how Ford's last V10 could make so little power from so much displacement. Hopefully this one works out better for them.
??? 362 hp/457 torque was "so little power"? It had over 100 hp more than the older, larger 460 V8, and virtually the same power specs as the huge 8.1 GM V8, despite being 80 or so cubic inches smaller.
Of course, today's Ecoboost V6 makes the same power and torque with half the displacement, but I seriously doubt an Eco can run wide open throttle for 10 miles uphill in 100 degree heat at maximum weight without either overheating or defueling to protect the engine.
