I don't understand Boomer.
You have not denied that the Boss 6.2 is going into A car and not just the F series, but that it is not going into a Mustang. Looking at the line-up there is nothing else it could even wedge into. Festiva, Fusion, Focus, Taurus. Am I missing a car?

Maybe a global RWD platform in the works? They need something new to put up agenst the Chrysler LX platform & the GM SSP/FLeet Caprice. 3800lbs. seems kinda light though, had to be in a Mustang.
Or we are just grasping at nothing.....

I agree it was probably in a Mustang for testing, but I was just remembering what I thought Boomer had said in previous posts on other threads.

Back on topic - those 6.2L heads look huge, the same can be said for the cam gear/sprocket too. VCT mechanism? Had to smile at "The Boss Is Back" casting.

That's sad when 3800 lbs. "seems kinda light" if the test platform happened to be a Mustang. No thanks to GM and Dodge building pig-heavy pony cars. Perhaps the segment name should be changed to "Clydesdale" to reflect the increase in size, weight, and power.

(Actually, I agree... the Mustang is overweight, IMO. It only seems OK because the others are downright obese)

Canted valves with a SOHC.......without some very high tech stuff there is no other way around it. But don't fret, this is going to be the big dog of the truck engine world, massive torque and good fuel economy considering the size and application. If you want big power and in a full size truck and a diesel isn't an option this is the one to get.

might not be anything new but oh well..
this says the production block will be cast iron:
Key features of the new 6.2-liter V-8 gasoline engine include:
• Cast-iron engine block and four-bolt main bearing caps, with cross bolts, for durability
• Aluminum cylinder heads, with two valves per cylinder and two spark plugs per cylinder
• Cast-iron crankshaft, with dual-mode damper
• Forged steel connecting rods
• Cast-aluminum pistons, with cooling jets
• Single overhead camshaft with variable valve timing and roller-rocker shaft valvetrain
• Magnesium cam covers for lighter weight
• Stamped-steel oil pan
• Composite intake manifold
• Stainless-steel fuel rail; port-fuel-injected; mechanical returnless fuel system
• 9.8:1 compression ratio
