6.2 pedigree

[Hoverp]

Can you guys that know the 6.2 well tell me the good things about the motor?

Is it a forged crank, pistons , rods, 4 bolt mains, roller rockers..that type of info.

Also what are the weak links in the motor?


Thanks

Thanks, anybody know any thing about the crank , rods and pistons?

They are just plain ol pistons and rods. Not forged. Crank is cast. Pistons are Hypereutectic, rods are probably cast. Maybe powdered metal but I think cast either way not ready for big numbers or lots of spray

A disappointed thanks!

What would be the accepted "most rear wheel horsepower" this 6.2L could produce through a Raptors drivetrain? That would be good to know.

 

[ZBoater]

The engine apparently is plenty capable.

6.2L Ford Boss V8 Makes 850hp At 460ci

All you need to know is this engine and transmission survived the Baja 1000, granted the engine was slightly tuned, but it is still a very solid and reliable power train. Ford clearly put serious time into it. You should be happy with it!

you'll need more suspension before you need more power, off-road.

There are people using forced induction on these engines and 411hp is little horsepower in comparison. How much can they take? When do they start to blow chunks?

Z. That is a forged built engine displacing 460cid.

If I go turbo or charger. How far should people push the stock 6.2?
