For what I need it for a prefer normally aspirated in a gas engine. Dont like turbos offroad. Need a linear pedal and power flow. Pentastar work fine offroad. Coyote would be interesting. I dont need a POS turbo tuned for mpg and to gov regs.
And you don’t think N/A motors arnt soft tuned for mpg? And n/A motors have VVT so not 100% linear.
the 5.0 and 7.3 would like a chat, as would any V8 (granted, I know we arent getting an 8, but there are plenty out there.
well duh on that one. V8 never gonna happen. More and more v8s are being phased out. Thanks to emissions regulations
well, ok, also straight 6's can hit that easy enough. and a V6 with a bit of work could as well
Not for US emissions but for Cali emissions and mpg regs. I dont see the Bronco outweighing my current 2012 Grand Cherokee so depending on the gearing and the hp and torque curves 300+ ft lbs of torque really isnt needed. I dont tow and will never tow with it. Again its the area under the curves even for track days and racing. Peak numbers are for bragging rights. I used to own a VW Rabbit with a Oettinger 16v kit and 1.6 liters and 70 911S and I like peaky for certain uses but not for offroad work and getting tthrough mud, slop, puddles and snow.
not just California, Europe and China too. So auto makers arnt going to make cars for just part of the world
Man, I would love a straight 6 turbo!
never gona happen unfortunately because they can’t fit transversely.
It isn't front wheel drive ...
i meant transversely. Ford isnt going to make a motor JUST for a hand full of cars. (Hence why they killed off the Barra)
This is interesting to me. I had my heart set on a Coyote for my F150, but after driving both I bought the 2.7EB because it felt like what you want above.. linear power flow and I know you said you don't really need much torque but the EB has ample and comforting torque from the bottom as a bonus.
