Et Oh, using Castrol and Phillips 66, not Motorcraft oil.

I do see a 7.3L truck engine, which works out to 445 inches (390 stroker)!
What's more interesting to me is confirmation that the Ford GT will be in production for the 2020 model year. The press has said it, but that document shows Ford really plans to do it!
You may want to take that picture down. It's marked "Ford Confidential" and you or Jay's site could draw the ire of the company lawyers...
-
Agreed. Confidential markings on documents can get the poster into deep shizer. And it gives the lawyers something to prosecute against.

I know it works out to a little bigger than a 427 but thought i was cool that ford has a 7.3l gas engine coming out. It will be interesting to see if it is a offspring of the 6.2l Raptor/Superduty engine or something completely new.
I found the link to the photo on another site. If Jay wants me to take it down I will.
Also of interest is the supercharged 5.2l GT500 :o

SuperSnake - The more I look at that document image, the more I realize this is serious business! I was a Ford engineer, and there is highly sensitive future-model information on that document. It needs to not be on here!
Jay and everything he has worked for is exposed to legal action if you do not take that image down! It doesn't matter where it came from. Important people at Ford will be pissed, and they have the resources to make people suffer. Please do the right thing!

That'd be nice, really good tow motor. IF - if - IF you could afford it. Friend just picked up a 2017 F250 SRW. Has some gee-gaws on it and camera everywhere. He is a Ford employee and the truck was close to $65,000. A stripper - fleet type - F-350 DRW Oxford White single cab with manual windows and zero options here runs $40K. Ford is not very likely to ever sell me another new truck. Maybe a new $20K Fusion, but the trucks are out pretty much out of reach at our pay grade. Be 1000x cheaper to put a stroker 460 in the old 93 F-350.

Exactly why I'm fixing up my '70 F-350 dually. I have $7500 in it now and planning a restoration soon. But as it is now, it pulls my big trailer just fine. New trucks are out of my pay grade too, but to be honest, I like pulling with an old FE powered truck.

In 2000 I was shopping for a new pickup. The red XL F-350 with no bed I looked at was 30,000. Don't remember if it was 460, 7.3, 2 or 4 door but I remeber the $30,000. I ended up with a 4 years old F-250 with 116,××× miles that turned out to be the most dependable vehicle I have owned. Sold it in April 2012 with 318,××× miles. The 351W had 163-175 psi static compression and a wore out ZF behind it. Looks like the guy I sold it to side swiped something and got it impounded a few months after he bought it. Stumbled across it in October 2012 at a local Pick And Pull.

There are still some right place/right time deals out there. Guy parked next to us at the track early this year, had what looked like a brand new 1999 F350 DRW diesel. Truck looked like it was used by grandma for the grocery store and church, then parked inside. Guy gave $9000 for the truck. Right place, right time.

DOHC 7.0 L with direct injection... sign me up to test one in an old chassis!
