    The 6.2 is coming out as a option on the F-150 raptor around spring time.. This has been confirmed.

    the motor is renamed the boss now.. and will be the optional motor on f-150's and the base and only v8 for the f-superduty

    supposedly a version of the 5.0 that is going in the gt will be the base v8 in the f-150


    BTW this is why we are getting a new v-8 for the mustang.. because ford can not make enough HP to compete in the truck market with the mod. Over the next few years the modular will be phased out and retired.

    I should have said 100lbs.

    Link to the thread.

    We had a whole discussion about weight over there.

    I don't think the coyote is based on the modular and it's not the cammer.. so we don't really know how heavy the new motor is

    The coyote is based on the modular block with a few minor changes. The heads/intake etc. are all brand new designs. This motor shouldn't weigh any more than a 1999 Cobra 4v motor does.

    Quite possible that this coyote could be a short term solution based on the modular.. I have had no luck trying to find out stuff about this motor. The 6.2 we know is a all new design and a lot is known about that motor already..

    Here's what I am pretty confident about:

    Same architecture as 4.6: FRM cylinder walls(?), ~92mm bore, 4V DOHC, 80MM throttle body, variable cam timing

    A few of the above items are based on supplier or Ford engineer leaks. ;)
