Maybe we could help Ford with some ideas:
Let's see it is still going to be along the modular design, how about the "Mod Squad part II" Or the "Guzzler" Ford isn't exactly know for their high MPG.
I still like the Hurricane name.........though some in LA. and MS. may not agree.
I don't like the use of the Boss name. The Boss was a very limited special engine option, not a mass produced motor. Let's leave the Boss name for future Mustangs and Ford Racing models.

Oops...I mispelled PREMIUM. Fat fingers. grrr...
~~~~~~~~~~
Let's hope they change the name from Premium V8. I can't think of a more non-descript name for an engine. Seems like their names model their car design. Uninspiring.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY
"WE BUILD BORING CARS AND GIVE THEM STUPID NAMES."
"WE ALSO GIVE OUR ENGINES STUPID NAMES."
"GOOD THING PEOPLE LIKE OUR TRUCKS OR WE'D BE SCREWED!"
"WE HATE V10s BUT WE HAVE ALL THESE PARTS LAYING AROUND..."

Well Art, we aren't talking about V10s anymore so I guess you can lock up this thread too. I don't know if the V10 is going away but I am telling you I am going away.
This is my last post and I hope all you V10 guys have the best of luck with your engines and it has been a slice, but time for me to move on. All the best to everyone.

"It has been rumored that the Hurricane will retain many of the Modular V8 design cues such as a deep skirt block with cross bolted main caps, oiling system design, and multivalve overhead camshaft valve train arrangement but it will have much wider bore spacing and bearing surfaces."
Finally an evolution of an engine instead of a "revolution." Let's see if it actually happens that way..
I can see why they would drop the v10 if the new v8 can be punched out to 7.0 liters. That does mean we could get an 8.8 v10 though..

It will not be an overhead cam motor. It is OHV, much like the LS1, LS2 and LS6 GM has that is basically killing Ford in the HP wars. And GM is being massacred by Daimler Chrysler's new Hemi's. In addition to the 6.1 SRT8 engine available in the line of cars, DCX is now offering a 392 crate engine. 550 hp in the carb'd version, 525 hp in the SFI version. 495 ft lbs of torque in each. THAT is impressive. The OHV as opposed to the OHC will allow for cylinder deactivation.
I don't know about the Hurricane being called the 'Boss', since Ford has a new 'Boss crate engine' out, but it's a variation of the old 302. Not a new engine by any stretch of the imagination.

I have not heard anything from anywhere that it's a pushrod motor.
That would be a shame.
