They used to make some big ones when they still made tractors but they have since sold the tractor part off. Since then, Ford doesnt make any. But I believe Land Rover makes some smaller ones but nothing near what you are asking about.

Didn't Ford did make a couple diesels, inline 6s, used in the late-80s and early 90s? IIRC, they were a 6.6 (401) and a 7.8 (478). Went in 7000-8000 series trucks. I've seen a few of those trucks, they have a Ford Diesel emblem.

HP isn't the important thing....a diesel engine never puts out much of a HP rating because the redline RPM is so low. HP is just a mathematic calculation of Torque and RPM..since the max RPM is so low, the HP is low.
