I would have sworn I read that Ford cancelled that project... But that'* good! I really can't wait to see this engine in person. I wouldn't buy one, because I know that it'* probably going to be an unreliable POS(
), but it'* still pretty cool technology

This isn't a 5.4 SOHC engine, this is a Direct Injected Turbo engine. Talk about a lot more complicated. I'm not saying that Ford makes bad engines, some of their engines are really good, but I just can't see them pulling this one off... But we'll see

I forgot about the PowerStroke 6.0 Diesel
How much you want to unload them for? My uncle runs a construction business and he is always looking for work trucks for various state and govt projects?
