none of the Powerstrokes would fit in a Falcon or Territory engine bay, they use a larger engine block than the Modular V8s and the heads on the new Powerstrokes are much larger than the 7.3's heads
the 3.6L V8 TDV8 is designed to be stretched to 4.0L and is suitable for twin turbo set up, so i would imagine around 220kw /650Nm is within reach for the TDV8 Territory - with the 6 speed auto, it would be awesome |

I thought the 2.7 V6 & 3.6 V8 were built in the UK... But yes the 2.7 is a JV between PSA and Ford.
Would be nice to see in the terry and Falc |
