Power Kid Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Been @ 8+ months now since the news leaked about the upcoming 6.8L V8 being built at Windsor. I thought more news may leak out by now. Story was F150 maybe Mustang. (Maybe Raptor R?) If it lands in F150 assuming will be MY23? Talk was 22 but likely calendar year vs MY.

twintornados Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) In all honesty, Ford should bring F250 out of the Super Duty line and move it onto F150 chassis (F150 is practically available as a 3/4 ton now) 6.8L then would be available in 150 and 250 along with 3.5L Ecoboost and 5.0L Coyote (3.3L V6 standard power for 150 and 5.0L V8 for 250) then Super Duty starts at F350 and with available 7.3L gasser and 6.7L Powerstroke with 6.2L BOSS as standard. Just my two cents worth. Edited September 17, 2021 by twintornados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Kid Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'd be happy if they allowed more flexibility w the F150 HDPP. Even high XLT would allow LEDs and "better" audio. If XLT sport was option even better. Oh and the 6.8L as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was time to trade my Raptor and the Raptor R isn’t ready yet and my dealer only had allocation for one 21 Raptor, which went to the dealers friend, so I got a 22 F250 7.3L to try something different. I’m looking forward to getting back into a V8 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyeste Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It does make you wonder; putting the OHV engine in the F150 lineup would have appeal to those that shirk technology and there are those. The Tundra's following was mainly due to their 5.7L which was dismally in-efficient. Ford would have to make sure the 6.8L was fuel efficient, I know two people that have picked up used Tundra's on the cheap and in each case the former owner got tired of the poor fuel milage. The Tundra's 5.7 was lucky to attain 13 hwy, 11 mpg was common. I recall my grandfathers' 1976 J10 with permanent AWD managed 11 mpg....

blksn8k2 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 My guess is that with all the focus now being on looking green Ford probably doesn't want anything like an announcement of a new gas powered anything to cloud that image. Wouldn't surprise me at all if we never see the 6.8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Kid Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Yah I got tired of waiting... guess it will be a 7.3L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be excited to see the dyno graph? Or, you are excited at the dyno graph you saw. If it's the latter, I would be excited to see it. Has this engine been built? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edselford Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Does anyone know why this engine is 6.8 liters? The news release from the Canadian union at Windsor talked about 6X. Or it’s derivatives. What does this mean? More different displacements? edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenRM Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The 6.2 and 7.3 have identical bore spacing; the 7.3 block is basically the 6.2 block with a cam and pushrods added to the valley and larger bores with a taller deck height. I'm almost praying that the 6.8 is actually the 6.2 block with the 7.3 bores (and not the 7.3 block with the 6.2 deck height) because a dohc 6.8 with the Coyote's tech could realistically make 600hp NA passing emissions while the 6.8 pushrod will barely break 500hp with emissions. IMO that barely beats the current 5.0 Coyote so is that even worth making? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edselford Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Well taking the 7.3 bore and 6.2 stroke gives you 418.56 cubic inches or 6.859 liters. Wouldn’t this be called a 6.9 liter V8? Yes, taking the 6.2 SOC V8 and opening up the bores to 106.75 mm with the 95 mm stroke gives you 6.80 liters or 415.06 cubic inches. edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenRM Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 When I calculate with the 7.3's 4.22 bore and the 6.2's 3.7 stroke, I get almost exactly 414 cubic inches (414.00587) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edselford Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Stroke is 3.74. These are metric engines so 7.3 has bore and stroke of 107.2 X101 mm 6.2 is at 102X95 mm Do the math in metric and then convert to cubic inches by multiplying by 61.02 cubic inches per liter. I just wonder if 6.8 with direct injection will replace the 6.2 boss in F250/350? Maybe pushing the 7.3 into F450/550 only? edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Kid Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 This has been hammered to death but based on 6.X intended use (F150/Mustang) it will have aluminum block which would never be used in a SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenRM Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I apologize, Google was telling me the 6.2 has a 3.7 stroke not 3.74. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesmox1 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This would be the coolest addition to the Mustang since the S550 came out. The current Mustang is more sports-car like than muscle car like. This would make it more fun and visceral, like the Challenger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Kid Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 The news I'm reading re new 24 stang, maybe that mean sounding V8 is a 6.8L not a coyote? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edselford Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It just have a “feeling” that the 6.8 V8 Mustang for 2024 will only come as a hybrid!. It would be significantly less expensive to build than an 3.5 ecoboost hybrid! edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
