I think starting in 2011 the 5th generation of motors begin.

The 4.0 for sure. It's embarrassing knowing that Ford's 4.0L engine is producing 210 horsepower, when Chevy's 3.7L is producing 305 horsepower

yeah but for all we know they could have so much squeezed out of that 3.7 that theres no room for growth

there isnt. couple "experts" at work were saying you cant get much more compression out of that engine before it would blow. this is why your only seeing super chargers for the SS's so far. ive yet to see a v-6 super charger

I am with you on this J.

what are the specs on the 3.7 duratec?

ak2010

275hp @ 6250rpm
276lb-ft @ 4250

With a compression ratio of 11.3:1 pretty much any reasonable amount of boost would tear that engine apart. Bolt ons would get a decent amount of good since the engine is DOHC, but other than, shes pretty much maxed out without investing four digit numbers into engine internals.

im just glad to see some kind of engine change. i love my 4.0 pony but given the choice id like to put the 355 hp ecoboost in!!

so does anyone know if ford's adding an ecoboost to the lineup next year? and would it be priced between the 3.7 and 5.0?
