in 2007 Superduties

Anyone??????????????

Yeap, it is rumored.

Nothing official yet!

Supposedly the 6.0 is going away due to its inability to meet 07 EPA emission standards. So rumor central says it is being replaced with a 6.4 (bored out 6.0) that has a twin turbo.

Does "rumor central" know who the engine manufacturer will be?

International Harvester or Navistar, they are the same.

Alright, that's just not fair. A twin turbo?

This link might shed some light as to what else we can expect in the 2007 engines. Read near the end of the press release about mid range (such as what is in our trucks) engines.

The 6.4 has been on the Dyno at IH for over a year and a half. I have seen some camera phone pictures from a friend who works at IH. These were taken over 2 years ago. IH is putting a ton of R&D into this to get it righ the 1st time. I was told in stock form the engine is capeable of some serious HP with just tuning. Last year when i saw the picture he said they had blown up a bunch of them pushing the HP limits to find the weak links.

But what accutally ends up in the Ford Trucks will be a mistery till they ship them or officialy SAY what is going in them.

There are a lot of differences, however, in the engine IH makes and the engine Ford puts in their trucks, e.g. the T444E and the VT365 are both great engines, but the 7.3 PSD and the 6.0 have more than a few retarded Ford-added features that screw up a perfectly fine engine.
