Hey are the engines of the F-series trucks the same as the 5.4L going to be used in the XRs???

Nope.. Ours are tuned for our driving conditions/style. Same basic engine though..

A new engine to Ford's modular V8 lineup, first application is Falcon.

Does anyone know for sure how much power this new motor makes? I would guess it would definitely be more than the current OHC V8 made in that factory. So to answer my own question.....lots!

"The Barra, a new sedan built on Ford of Australia's Falcon platform, will benefit from the first batch of 3-valve engines, which feature displacements of either 4.6L or 5.4L. The Barra is scheduled to debut in October, followed by a truck application of the engine."

Does that mean were ALSO getting 4.6?:oo1:

I think the article was saying that the Modular 3 valve is avalible to be made in both 4.6 and 5.4.. Not that the falcon is going to get a choice..

the 4.6 will go into crown vics, trucks, etc etc..
