1) There's clearly room for a large naturally aspirated V8. Look at all the room ahead of the engine block
2) I see mounts for an engine cover, which may clean things up a bit visually, but in any case there's a lot going on here.
3) In 30 years when I park this at car shows (or the day I take delivery and take it to cars & coffee), I'll just have to leave the hood closed.
In what world, with all that mess, makes you believe they could fit a V8 in there?

If you can fit a TTV6 or an inline 4, you can fit a NA V8. My understanding is the Ranger engine bay was designed to fit a Coyote V8, and similarly the 2.7 was designed to fit anywhere you can fit a Coyote 5.0.

Most modern engine bays are messier than we think, other manufacturers just put a nice looking cover over the engine to make it look betterand reduce noise

That bronco's just a rats nest mess though, how is that a finished product?

That's a lot of hoses and cables. And I can't tell where the blinker fluid goes.

Yeah it's right next to the light-bulb fluid.
As an electrician I’m going to have to ask you to not divulge that information, thank you.

That’s an upgrade for the V6.

Pics of the 2.3L engine compartment.
They also have some very clean shots of the 2.7 engine. You should also post those here and change the title to include the 2.7. Just a thought. ?

Okay so I got a funny story. When I was in high school, I went to what we called VoTech, auto-body and paint specifically. Needless to say we had a kid in our class who literally had zero knowledge of the automotive world. We sent him to O'Reilly's down the road a bit with two items on a list: Light-bulb fluid, and spark plugs for a Cummins diesel. When he arrived and walked up to the counter, he told them what he needed on the list. The whole store of associates laughed hysterically at him and had to tell him there's no such thing as light-bulb fluid, and diesel engines don't have spark plugs. He'd been had. That kid was triggered when he got back. Funny as heck though. He turned out to be pretty good at auto-body, I just wouldn't go to him for any mechanical issues lol.
