New Ford 7.3 V8
I see people calling this a “big block” engine. Is it part of a series of engines of different displacements based on a common “big” block?

A small block will most likely never have the duty cycle of a big block...maybe if they spend tons and tons of $$$
Direct injection doesn’t have gasoline washing the intake port and EGR deposits won’t be washed away
Oil sprayed at the piston bottoms a nifty thermal metric
Still love my L29...but if GM comes out with a similar big block...WOW...just might get one
You really need to see the longevity and mileagae a 6.0 gets vs a 7.4. You would be suprised. Tons of guys are doing it now with no 7.4 or 8.1 to offer. I went from a 1989 7.4 to 2002 6.0 to a 2017 6.0. You couldn't give me a 7.4 for free at this point.
