OR you could wait a little. Ford is coming out with a 7.3 / 445 CI gas engine. AARRRR!
That “Godzilla” gasser is coming in 2020 - and we are getting a 2020
But many have advised me to stick with the tried and true 6.2 L v8 gasser.
I think I will.
the current 6.2L V8 produces 385 HP and 430 lb.-ft. of torque,
and the new 7.3L V8 produces 430 HP and 475 lb.-ft. of torque,
according to #’s just released by Ford, according to this (and a few other) websites.

So yes the 7.2 gasser has a bit more power, but to me not worth the risk of buying a first year new engine.
