Oh yeah. 350 chassis cab, pretty sure. I'll pay better attention next time I'm there. Great plant. I guess it doesn't count, to us, if you have to order 20 of them that way, so maybe what I see won't do, anyways.
The only way I'm wrong about the 7x displacement, is if I miscalculated the stroke. I know it's going to be short stroke and modern. Just not how much shorter.

Page 9 of this ford brochure says 6.2 in f350 cab and chassis, 450 up says 6.8.

The 7.3 is going to be a Fleet engine, not a replacement for the 6.2L. It's a replacement for the V10. But I have heard it will be available for the regular trucks.
90% of us will be better off with the 6.2L. The 7.3 will be a low BMEP work horse. Like the wheezy GM 8.8L. It'll be a pretty lame engine to put in a Raptor. Minus well put a 200hp Ford 460 in.
I'd only be interested in it, if it's a push rod engine with no VVT. Reliability. Otherwise, I like the 6.2L better, for my needs.

The 6.2 is already over square, meaning the stroke is shorter than the bore. I'm guessing it will have a longer stroke, which would be good in a truck application. Give me DOHC with VVT to breath good up top, and a longer stroke to make torque down low. We all know how good the 6.2 is above 3k rpm, imagine if it was that good or a little better and had monster low end torque because of a longer stroke.

I have a hunch they're calling it the "7x" for a reason. And that reason ain't a zero.
That, and minus well just drop the 6.2L, if the 7.0, IS just a 6.2L bored and stroked. Why keep both around? I'm also not buying the Raptor stuff until I see it. Wouldn't a BB pretty much screw up all the F150 EPA economy #'s and such. I don't hear any Raptor rumors.

With direct injection and cylinder delete like the 5.7L ram Ford might get the milage and torque to ecoboost levels with a big V8. We all love a big V8 and without the turbos to worry about I'm in.

I’m thinking it’ll at least make 450hp/485tq in SD applications, more in the Raptor.
