Thank you for info. At 116mm, we could easily have a 7 liter engine with water around entire bore, Bore at 105.1mm leaves 10.9mm between bores or .428" which is great gasket area for future pressure charging! If it looks alot like the 4.6/5.4, that would be fine. Probably a DOC head for Lincoln and a 3 valve head for the rest. Let me know if you hear more news on the new engine??? I would appreciate it. 'By the way, the boss 302 looks like the old boss 302, not really new, more like the existing aftermarket blocks.

:hyper: Does anyone know the details of the new Ford 6.2l V8 gas engine? I am asking for real info not wish list info??? I want to know the Bore Spacing on this new V8. It will determine the true growth potential and potential for later turbo/supercharging, thus ultimate horsepower! I can guess, 115 to 116.5mm but this is only a guess. Does anyone really know out there?? Regards Vince

Dear Blueblood, good note on the hurricane and Mr. Mark Fields restarting the new engine program! If Mr. Fields reads these posts, I hope he reads this one! New engine should be no excuse!, power and torque, with the ability to get to 7 Liters displacement without any exotic stuff. Maybe the KISS theory should apply, keep it simple and stupid, at least to a point. Obviously, it needs to be designed with direct injection in mind, maybe a 4.53" bore spacing, 4.13" finished bores, 4" strroke for the 7 liter version, two deck heights, one for 6.2 or 6.3l and the other for the 7 liter. Don't compromise bore spacing. Engine could be utilized in F650/750 mid range trucks too. Get creative! How about a 3V overhead cam HEMI??? sort of a Triton Squared! Remember, 3V engines give superior low end torque. I know Ford makes a superior pickup. It needs to have a superior engine! Regards Vince
