Ford - Engine - BOSS family Prior Blog Posts by Date This is a subset of Ford Motor Corporation topics, pertaining solely to the upcoming "big block" Ford BOSS engine, formerly known by the codename of "Hurricane". While the program was heavily scaled down in mid-2009, a single displacement 6.2 liter engine will replace the 6.8 V-10 in the F-350. A special displacment and configuration for the Mustang has been cancelled.

Thursday, January 11, 2007    New Blog on my site: 2010 Ford Boss Engine   Well, not new, as I've been blogging about the 2010 Ford BOSS V-8 engine (previously code named Hurricane) since December 2004. This on-again and off-again project is finally ON as part of the Ford Way Forward plan. Not much is officially known about this engine: the brand name is BOSS, it will debut shortly after the debut of the 2009 F-150, and it will also be used in the redesigned Mustang (~2010). References are already being made to it in the 2009 F-150 program by Ford, as well as by suppliers. Unofficially, this appears to be both the truck and the performance V-8 going forward. The modular engine is IMHO old, tired, and already extended past viability in 5.4 liter form. I suspect we'll continue to see 4.6 and 5.0 liter variants... and that the 5.4 in trucks will be replaced by the BOSS 5.8. Performance variants will be 6.2 liters in displacement. In any case, as we see more information on the 2009 F-150 (perhaps a concept in April at the New York show??) we will learn more about this engine. I'm looking forward to seeing some in-depth architectural discussion and imagery of it. ============= Use the "Blogs on this site" area to the left to read the blog, and the orange RSS symbol to subscribe to it.
