Igor The use of turbos also makes it pretty simple to dial in different horsepower ratings for essentially the same engine. I wouldn't be too surprised if the TwinForce in the Taurus has a little less boost to give the Lincoln D3 variant a slight HP advantage. Either way, this is GREAT (might I even suggest Bold) news.

QUOTE(Deanh @ Mar 21 2007, 01:26 PM) [snapback]156416[/snapback] F150??????????????? does that make ANY sense??????? a small turbo diesel maybe....a lightning Sportrac maybe, SVT Ranger maybe.....but a 5000lb truck NOT! It would be meant as a replacement to the 4.2 V6 currently in the F150. The new engine would develop more HP, and get better gas mileage. It is not a replacement for the V8's...
