Just a clear sign that the 7.3 was the last good Ford diesel and they know it. Happy April 1st.

What a minute... that's a tractor engine... does that mean Ford owns Cummin(g)s again?

No... that means Ford kicked the cummins out to the pasture with their new F650/F750 HD trucks.... :W

GM did make a prototype V 16 with two small block Chevy V8's, think it was for a Cadillac show car. Also in the '60's GM made a highway tractor, gas V12. This engine was made by joining two of the old highly regarded GMC 305 cube V6's together.

Also back in the '40's there were a couple of heavy or medium duty duty trucks, that were powered by two Ford fathead V8's. Don't believe this was a factory job, just an enterprising and resourceful hauler, who wanted more power.

I looked..........no link to the V-10 ecoboost there either! This is all very intriguing!

Besides we all know it will be a 2018 6.2 litter ego boost. LOL;)

I hate April 1st

Same joke as last year, yet ?
