New Ford F 150 5 liter V8
I wrote a previous thread about the new F 150 with the 5 liter (Coyote) V8. Some may recall that I indicated that a friend is seriously considering buying a new FX4 , 4 door, 4WD F150, with the 5...

From "YE GOD" WIKIPEDIA:
F-150 Variant
"A torque-biased variant of the Coyote is produced as an alternative to the EcoBoost V6 in the new F-150 pickup truck. The F150 5.0L receives a lower compression ratio (10.5:1), intake camshafts with less duration, cast iron exhaust manifolds, and revised cylinder heads and intake manifold intended to promote low-end and mid-range power and torque. The engine retains the Coyote's forged steel crank and piston-cooling jets but benefits from the addition of an external engine oil cooler similar to the Boss 302's. The changes result in the engine's peak horsepower dropping to 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) while torque remains the same as the Boss 302 at 380 lb·ft (520 N·m)."
For the record, the term "modular" has nothing to do with shared parts among Ford's engines. According to Wikipedia, it is a reference to the ability of Ford to change out tooling in their engine plants in a matter of hours to produce whatever engine is needed based on demand. They must be doing a lot of EB's these days.............
