In today's news, the 2011 F-Series Super Duty will now make eight hundred foot-pounds of torque, and if you were unfortunate enough to buy your truck at that measly 735, you can take it into your dealer for a free upgrade to the powertrain module so you will have eight hundred foot-pounds of torque.

Thanks Ford.

Wow, I didn't realize there was a torque war going on with the trucks similar to the horsepower war with the pony cars. 800 torks sure is a lot of torks. :shock:

You two sound just like Jeremy Clarkson. He is a big fan of talking about how many "torks" an engine has.

I'm sure your dealer would be happy to do it for $6999 plus taxes and labor.

Like that it's a crate engine, but I think GM actually did it better with the Erod Motor.

everything you need including ECM, all in one tight little package you just drop in.

I don't think most will deny that Ford has failed on the hotrod front with the modular motor. It is just too big and heavy.

Lord, I hate to ask this as it may tarnish my car guy image, but what exactly defines the ford engine as a "modular" motor?

The new motor is pretty light compared to the Mod 4.6's of old.

The motor, from what I understand, was possible to be scaled as a 4cyl up through a v10. A lot of the parts were meant to be reused (such as the head between a 4cyl and 8cyl). Ford killed the plans to do the 4 cyl and 6 cyl though.
