I have now, and I don't believe it. For one thing, Ford has way, way too much invested in EcoBoost technology to invest even more in a NA powerplant. Secondly, Ford's "inspiration" for the EcoBoost was the EPA fleet fuel economy requirements. A 7.0L engine would take them in the wrong direction.

What's more likely than a 7.0L NA engine is a 5.0L EB engine, but I doubt even that.

I agree. The make a bunch of eco boost engines daily. But, I do believe there is a small niche to be had, and it could be used in more than one truck model. It would be interesting.

Lies and more lies my cousin works for borg Warner and they make all the cam phasers for ford. They were developing phasers for a 7.3
Engine called "grizzly" but development has stopped on that engine. Further the ford gt which is fords halo car has the EB....
It's not going anywhere

How many of these stupid threads does this site need?

It's good to have confirmed news, but disappointing as I was looking forward to it.

Nevermind. It's called ignore in this forum.

Here's the engine I think Ford needs to build:
- Ceramic engine block
- Direct injection
- Naturally aspirated, cowl induction
- HUGE air filter in sealed airbox
- Header the thing (and save us all a lot of trouble)
- 3 angle valve job from factory
- Ported and smoothed intake tract
- Variable valve gear with intake valves and exhaust valves operating independently
- Tuned for 450 bhp and 475 ft-lbs
But they'll never do it. Although the engine would be less expensive than a comparable V6 EcoBoost, it would probably be less fuel efficient and would drive up their fleet mpg.

Now you're talking!

Its out there, and its being tested. But it won't be in Raptor production before 2020, if at all.

The 7.0 Liter motor is OLD NEWS guys. It's been talked about since at least April of this year. And it's reportedly going into every vehicle Ford makes - well, almost...
