[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1418826, member: 20286"] You are asking what it costs to produce an engine? You are WAY off. Think in terms of hundreds of dollars, not thousands. Ford counts how much a connecting rod costs using cents, not dollars. That is only the cost to produce it though. All the development costs have to be rolled in too. I'd bet that Ford can produce the 3.5L TT, 6.2L V8 and 5.2 SC GT500 engines for nearly the same cost- definitely all within $1000 of each other. The 6.2L is no doubt the cheapest- less cams and valves, no blower or turbos. The 3.5 TT is probably a bit cheaper than the 5.2L SC, less pistons, less metal, and they likely get the 2 turbos for less than the cost of the blower. If I had to guess dollars, a 6.2L long block probably costs Ford around $800 to produce. 3.5L TT I'd put about $1300 and the 5.2L S/C at $1500. Both FI engines would need another couple hundred dollars of parts for the IC systems as well. So I'd guess the true price delta to Ford is right around a grand between the 6.2L and the 3.5L TT / 5.2l SC engine. [/QUOTE]
