http://www.allfordmustangs.com/2016. Ford to make a 4.8 based coyote based engine. Can anyone with any inside information confirm or deny this?
Ford usually decreses the displacement of their motors when they add forced induction.....
A twin-turbo gas V8 engine would be a great idea for the trucks, for the Expedition/Navigator, could easily be tuned for 500hp in those 6,000+lb SUV's/trucks, and would be an interesting alternative to the $8-10k diesel option in the Super Duty trucks
Yeah, all manufacturers usually do that.
I figure they increase the cylinder wall thickness for the engine to be able to take the boost.
The Shelby 5.4 to 5.8 change was a huge difference in the way the cylinder bore was machined, they went to some spray technique that made it super strong while not needing to be that thick.
I don't see the Mustang switching to a 4.8 engine anytime soon, when having a "302" under the hood sounds so good to so many potential buyers/owners.

450-500 hp and 600-650 ft-lb gas engine would sell like crazy. If it kept the same kind of torque delivery as the 3.5 in the F150 it would still have like 475+ ft-lbs at 2500 rpm. It would be diesel like power from a gasoline engine. And it seems gas engines are easier to make clean emissions with than diesels.
But I can still say "I got that 281 son"
Turbo V8 would be pretty sweet, I'd swap to it.
AMG does a 4.4 with 503hp @ 17psi

Yeah gas engines are much easier to run clean than diesels.
Diesels are natural heavy producers of nitrogen oxides, and the emission equipment needed to clean their exhaust is heavy, expensive, and large, all unfortunate contributors to today's trucks' weight and price.
I would be all over a 500hp 600 ft-lb turbo V8 in an F250 ...
Yup, AMG, BMW and Audi all have awesome twin-turbo V8's with well over 500 hp .... even over 600 hp in the case of Audi's S8 Plus (or whatever they call it)
Oh, and the 4.6 is a 281. a 4.8 would be about 292 ci .... no catchy ring to that number :/
Maybe they can make it a "small" 4.8 and have it be a 289.
Now THAT number has some history.
