News today of Ford's rumored 7.3 L gas engine
Was at my dealership today and asked my sales advisor if he heard the rumors of the new 7.3 L v8 and he checked his sources while I waited and returned to say it's all bunk. No such engine is planned ...

As someone who just ponied up for cam phasers, chains, guides, tentioner and solenoids, I can tell you for certain push rods will be fine with me. I grew up on an FE block 390 in a Fairlane which made beastly torque. Plenty of magic left to be had in pushrods, without all the other valve train weight and expense. Seems dinosaurs shouldn't be extinct after all.
I think both Dodge and GM have shown that pushrod engines still have plenty of potential.
I kind of wish Ford had gone the same way as them with continuing to develop the pushrod engine.
I never cared for the 2 and 3 valve versions of the mod motors.
