Ford 6.7
Posted: Sun May 16, 2010 7:42 pm
This was discussed a little in another thread and I don`t want to hijack that thread because I am very interested in hearing all about Steve`s new trike.
That said.... Ford has a new diesel engine... I know... first year is always the worst but I am really excited about this new engine after having gone through the factory training and got to take one apart and see first hand what they have built... REALLY addressed all the IH issues and looks great on the roll out. If you thought the new diesels with the piezeo injectors were quiet.. wait til you hear this one... I was standing near the left rear of one last week and from in the shop cold not hear it running. This thing will take tons of power from the aftermarket. The block for example is not caast iron... Pressed powdered metal alloy like a connecting rod in the crate motors we all love to run.... WAY too much to list here... Radical design, as the exhaust is no longer routed to the outside of the head and through a manifold before it gets to the turbo..Actually two turbos in a single housiing and it is cooled by coolant along with a liquid to air intercooler... The list goes on... Only draw back is all the crap the tree huggers force us to use for emissions but everyone is dealing with that.
I know this is a new book and the story has not been told but I think dodge and chevy better get on their game or there will be a new kid in town....
