Ford's making the 7.3 again?
Sort of...but it's a gas 7.3. Probably a bit of marketing off the love of the old diesel 7.3.
The following combination of bore, stroke, combustion chamber design and compression ration enabled Ford to produce the best horse power while keeping the A/F ration as close to stoichiometric as possible.
7.3L just worked out to work the best.
I'm sure it doesn't cause problems but if there was something magical about that combination of design criteria...everyone would be putting out a 7.3L gas engine.
