Boss is just a Ford trademark name. It is supposed to be a larger, more powerful version of the 5.4L modular engine I believe.

i think it is a whole new engine, it just shares similarities with the modulars

Hopefully with a Larger bore and shorter stroke. 4.17 is quite a bit of stroke for only 330ci. Much longer than a 460.

From what I've read..

larger bore spacing, short stroke for smaller versions, aluminum heads.. both SOHC and DOHC applications two spark plugs per cylinder to burn the fuel over the LARGE bore (which result in poor emissions and fuel economy.. ). Possibility for GTDi versions.

They are going to be very similar to the mods, just scaled up. They won't actually share anything, but the ideas will be the same.

Sure hope you are wrong on the spark plugs that would be 16 ways to screw up the engine on relpacement!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the cylynder will still fire after you spit a plug out

The dual plug idea from what I understand will be much like what Ford did in the late 80's to the 2.3 4 banger in the Rangers. It boosted the ponies and ran cleaner.

Two plugs per cylinder huh? Like my 1987 Nissan D21. Strongest little 4 cylinder my family ever owned. My friends decided to do some body work to it though.(wrecked it into a mobile home)

Not much new news other than they will now call it the "Premium" not Boss or Hurricane.
The heads are still being cast and now they are trying things to get rid of defects and such.I just had my hands on 24 "as cast" heads today. Man are they heavy!!!

any motor over 4 inches in bore size suffer from bad flame propogation due to the fact the burn cannot get accross the top of the piston and down intothe tiny area above the top ring.hence a dirty burn . 2 plugs on the otherhand gets 2 flamefronts going and burns much better in that area.
