600 Cid V8
I heard today about a 600 CD V8 to replace the V10... I know I have been out of the loop, but is this new news?
I heard this at a national drag race..(Fun Ford Weekend) from a guy that works very closely with Ford and designing performance parts/engines.

I have no idea on the engine. I have mixed feeling about that, but it might be a cool engine.
Was that Fun Ford Weekend at Epping Dragway? If so, how was it? I wanted to go so bad, but I had to work all weekend.

it would be a toss up.........my mud drag truck (estimated 3mpg hwy hahaha), or driving the new 600cid Super Duty thats in the drive way, hahaha!
not to say it wouldn't be cool, emissions would kill the output i'd imagine. not to sy it wouldn't be cool to have a 600+ cid SD in the drive way, hahaha!

Does he have a name, like J. Mays? No way Ford is going to risk their ULEV rating with a 600 CID V8 Gasser.

I don't ever forsee a 600 cu.in engine from Ford in any vehicle.
I'm sure engine displacement will do nothing but decrease in years to come.
I'll hold onto my V10 because I doubt a smaller or bigger displacement V8 will give the performance and fuel economy that I'm getting with my v10 in my 7,000lb truck.

Makes sense to me if the motor incorporates VVT technology to cut off 1/2 of the motor during normal highway operation, and only uses the full 600 cubes when the go pedel drops. I hope it's true, otherwise, I feel like the guy above, keep the V-10 till it craters. I just can't imagine a 5.4 ever equaling what this V-10 does. I'd never be happy unless Ford offered me more power in a gas motor.

As for the 6.2L in the SD line...that should be in 2010 with the re-designed SD front...and other minor changes.
Depending on the bore and stroke of this 6.2L...could make a very interesting V8. Time will tell...
