Mackintire Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) As I understand it the 6.2 liter V8 is ending up a bit underwhelming when used in the F350 and larger trucks. This is part of the reason the retired V10 was brought back into service. My suggestion is based on: need, cost, inventory and serviceability. Make a taller stronger block based on the current coyote 5.0 and adjust the stroke as needed to gain the additional cubic inches. The current 5.0 heads meet the flow requirements and the 7000 RPM headway could be dropped some in exchange for the additional stroke. Peak power output should be approx 400HP with 460lbs of torque, but the widened power band would be optimized for HD truck applications. Common parts keeps the price low and you may find that you are able to improve parts that are applicable to both motors. The new motor should offer better fuel economy, significantly more area under the curve in regards to power, and be cost effective to produce.
