New 7.5 V8 for Trophy truck racing

Since Ford has already made mention of this and it will be unveiled at the November SEMA show a 7.5 version of the 6.2 has been developed producing a strong 850 HP. This is for Trophy truck racing but it shows how big in displacement this engine can get. There are rumors that a 7.5 V8 will replace the v10 after V10 supplies are gone. I suspect this depends on Diesel prices and if there remains a market for big gas engines.
I asked if FORD Racing was building a crate engine for sale and was told it should be out within the year.

If they put a new 7.5L in a Super Duty I'll buy two of them, in blue, and burn the both of them.
