Will this engine fit in a van?
Just wondering if Ford is going to offer it in a van. I wish they would scrap the van diesel altogether. They have always been a pain ever since the 6.9L in the 80's. The V8 and V10 motors I think are plenty for anything a van is going to do, considering they never see a 5th wheel.
There is a small market when it comes to the heavy duty van chassis' that have bodies put on, for example a mechanics truck, WITH a tighter steering angle, unlike the truck series, where a diesel may be fit for application.

I would venture to say I don't think the 6.7 with the large exhaust will fit in the current van.

I think if there is a will, there is a way, but if it ever happens, it won't be until they have sold a few in the trucks and spent some time engineering it to fit.
If there is a market for it, Ford will fulfill it!

At the Fod Chihuahua-plant they are talking about the duoble output. The SuperDuty sales are not enough. Some 380.000 engines annually
