Wow, interesting piece of paper, I also like that bottom section with a S/C 5.2 in the GT500. If that paper is legit, I may have got the displacement wrong, but at least I got the model year. The 6.2 isn't on that list anymore, so if this is legit, the 6.2 is done. Can we ask how you come across that? One thing that catches my eye is the Ford confidential on the bottom REALLY looks photoshopped when you zoom in.

Would you be able to tell us where you attained said paper? I'm not saying that it's legit or not, as well as if Ford is coming out with an entirely new engine calling it a 7.0L or 7.3L. I do know when Ford originally came out with the 6.2L design they did it with the intention of taking it to 7.0L. The 7.3L might be for medium duty trucks, much like the 361, 391, 370 etc... One other thing that stands out about this paper is the listing out small diesels that are currently not available in the USA. This could be a paper with engines that are only avaliable outside of the US or maybe a combination of both.

Keep in mind this is 2020, there is a ford ranger and ford bronco on the way that would be a good candidate for a small diesel..Im not entirely sure where the paper originated, but I got from a reliable source. Its floating around on several other sites now to.

What is for then? Don't just leave us hanging. I know it's just a picture of a piece of paper on the internet, but that's what it says it's for. And I had already seen the picture of the supercharger on the 5.2 that he posted.

I know the paper says that but my source says the SC 5.2 is for the bullet and the GT 500 is getting something better.
Not giving up my source.

Hey, a good rumor is good enough. I had actually saw the 5.2 supercharged associated with the bullitt somewhere else. That's where I had saw that picture. I just didn't really expect it because the bullitts never really been the bad dude of the bunch.

The Bullitt was somewhat of a sleeper. Completely understated as it should of been. A little more HP than a stock GT, a little different suspension and some lower rear end gearing. Loved the one I had and rarely got a second look unless you were a car junky. I'd be all over a Bullitt with a stock SC...

I don't feel like this piece of paper is proof of anything. It looks like something I could have made on my Brother word processor in 1994.

I'll not be holding my breath.

I am SURE if paper is real.. Ford would have a non-disclosure document in place..

I know Ford does use non-disclosure......

How is this evidence the paper is authentic?
