Ford's 6.7-Liter "Scorpion" Power Stroke Turbocharged V8

No power specs yet. They also went with the reversed intake/exhaust. Well actually I guess they're the first since theirs is actually making it to the market.
This is it. The 6.7-liter "Scorpion" Power Stroke V8 is Ford's first diesel motor for its 2011 F-Series HD pickups to be developed entirely in-house after three decades partnering with outside engine-maker Navistar.

Not very elegant if you ask me. Compare to this, Navistar's 2010 V8, the engine Ford coulda had:

Well looks don't mean much when it comes to the power plant. We'll see how reliable Ford's is compared to Navistar's previous attempt.

Every time I see a picture of a diesel engine, I'm reminded of all of the times I've heard diesel proponents argue that diesels are mechanically simpler than gas engines. Boy, they sure don't look simpler!

Under Mullaly, it seems to be a marked contrast to how Nasser ran Ford. Ford are returning to an R&D culture by developing more technologies in-house.
I wonder if GM patented that reverse exhaust manifold idea?

Diesels have come a long way in a rather short period of time. Emissions standards have a lot to do with it.

That is, until we put the screws to sources close to the project. After many hours of waterboarding, we now know, unofficially, that the official power ratings will be 400 horsepower and 725 pound-feet of torque. As the current 6.4-liter V8 generates 350 hp and 650 lb-ft, the new 6.7 represents a pretty healthy upward jump.
