These comments are from the American forum "Modular Fords Forum" a few days ago …
An associate of mine was working out some production designs for the Volvo/Mack power train production line with an outside manufacturer and while visiting their facilities noticed four pallets with new ford 6.2 liter blocks and four pallets of heads. He inquired into why the manufacturer had the engines and he was informed that they were designing the assembly line for ford to produce them for the mustang possibly in a mach or boss trim. They are not stroked 5.4s; they are a totally new platform! Now named the "BOSS" engine line, previously named the "Hurricane" engine line! In a nut shell they are very similar to the OHC engines we have now, with IIRC 4.5" bore spacing now. They will be capable of up to 7 liters of displacement, and that is one of the test bed engines that Don Bowles is campaigning for Roush under the name "Project 777" which is 7 liter, 700 HP, at 7000 rpms. We have done some work on the 6.2. It’s a nice engine but the thing is huge and heavy! It’s wider then a 4valve so not sure what the application will be as far as a Mustang. It’s slated for truck production to get rid of the V10. The new V6's with the twin turbos will probably find their way into the Mustangs before the 6.2 if even the new V6 makes it due to the fuel prices. |

Heads are very wide for a SOHC engine.

7L, 700HP, 7000 rpm, $7 a gallon, 7 year lifespan, 7 tons, 777" wide, 7 sold.
I dont know what to think. one hand its a huge V8, on the other, I think its about time ford did something worthy of the boss name, ie, lighter and faster and not bigger and thirstier. the BOSS 302 won because it was a balanced engine for the time. This cant win any serious prizes. I still want one though.

I don't see the problem, the bigger the better when it comes to towing capacity the big Super Duty F series need.

i read in a article that maybe 2013 possibly a gtho. But anyway i agree with other members about it being to late for a 6.2 unless ford works a few miracles and runs it on fresh air . but also im all for them experimenting and exploring options.

No the 6.2L will be for trucks only. The 5.0L V8 will get twin turbos to keep the performance fans more than happy.
