To be honest, I'd be happy as a puppy with two tails if I could slip a 3.5L Ecoboost engine in my 2010 F250. A 5.0L Ecoboost would be great!
I would add a 2nd to this. A small disp high hp motor like this with todays 6 and 8 sp trannies would probably suit a lot of us with 25 series trucks, that tow up to around 10K lbs, need to haul upwards of 2 tons in there trucks when not towing, and get us 15-20 mpg maybe a bit more when empty. I'd be happy with the 300HP GM 4.3 V6 with the 6l90E, 4.10 or better yet for me 4.33 gears.......Most of my driving is at 50 mph or less, so a perfect setup for me. For those that drive a lot int hee 60-70 mph range, 3.73's would work well for them.
