6.7 L Power Stroke Diesel

Ford's New 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel

 

6.7L Scorpion DieselFord's new 6.7L Power Stroke, codenamed the Scorpion, will be Ford Motor Company's first in house designed diesel platform for the F-series trucks. Ford has announced that it needed to produce its own diesel engine to stay profitable and competitive in today's booming diesel truck market, so they have developed the latest Power Stroke without the help of long time diesel partner, International (who has been building diesel engines for Ford since 1982). It is also suggested that the lawsuits between Ford & Navistar (International) had a negative impact on their relationship. Nonetheless, International will still be producing diesel engines for Ford's medium duty truck line. Below is a preview of the mighty 6.7L "Scorpion". (please note that much of the information availabe is based on speculation. This page will be updated frequently as more official information is released on the engine).
