From Autoblog.com and Blue Oval News: The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, with an available all-new 6.2-liter V-8 engine, produces 411 horsepower and 434 ft.-lb. of torque.

Wonder if the SD version will have the same specs? It will also be offered on a limited basis in other F150 models.

Technically, 6200cc is 378 cu. in. (1.08 hp per cu.in.)

No one can make the HP per cu. in. that the HEMI makes (1.13 hp per cu. in.) but it is nice to see Ford finally make a truck worthy V8 versus the 5.4l V8 and fuel thirsty V10. Anything over 1 hp per cu. in. is impressive and I am sure it will be a good engine. Hopefully they put it in the non-SVT F-150 and not just the Super Duty's. I wonder what the real-world fuel mileage will be...

Hopefully now Dodge will put the 6.1l V8 (425hp/420 lb.ft., 1.14 hp per cu. in.) engine in the RAM. :cool:

It is said the 6.2 will replace the 5.4 and the 6.8 v10 at least in the pickups.
There was a 5.8 version planned as well but have read nothing about it lately.

No mustang plans as of yet but it is said there is room for it in the new ones.

Some of the testing of the 6.2 was drag strip time in a 7 literish version.
I await this engine with baited breath... That raptor F150 looks a beast.

I've never read anything about a 5.8L. 2011 is to bring a 5.0L that will replace the 4.6 and 5.4, as well as the 3.5L Ecoboost V6 as the base engine in the 2wd 150. The 6.2L is rumored to be the replacement for the V10 in the 250 and 350 but will remain in the 450 and 550. The Mustang will also receive the 5.0L.

Why not a 300ci hemi, maybe even V6 hemi, 250hp.

Or... a inline 6 Hemi like the Aussie Chargers used...

Trade some HP for 30-35mpg...

Because you dont get 30-35 mpg by reducing the engine size,if it was worth that much they would have done it already.In fact highway economy can improve with a larger engine,as you can gear it taller,it doent need to rev in lower gears to pull hills or with headwinds,and it will hold OD longer.You get 30-35 mpg by going to diesel power,but keeping the truck light,by reducing weight,drag ,parasitic hp loss,and frontal area...bascially a 1/2 ton diesel,that cant tow very much would be the only way to get 30 35 mpg from a full size truck.
