Here is a link that seems interesting.

Indmar has a 400 and a 440hp marine version of the 6.2 coming out in the 2015 Tiges.

It seems odd they would start down a path for a new engine with something that Ford is DC'ing.

I'm still of the belief that Ford is going to put an EB engine in and offer some sort of 6.2 with a little more hp...maybe 440???

Of course Ford is driving a bunch of Raptor test mules around with the EB. It's going to have more HP than the standard version and could be a totally different engine than what they put in the F150.

Hopefully the raptor development engineer isn't the same guy who designed this motor.

I wonder if Ford is working with Hennessey to build their new engines

The Raptor was designed for high speed offroad driving so yes, THERE WAS AN ISSUE. If there wasnt an issue Ford wouldnt have reinforced the frames 2012-2014. I never said all Raptors from 10-11 had bent frames but those years you are more likely to bend your frame compared to 2012-2014 when Ford fixed it. I wouldnt buy a used 2010-2011 Raptor simply because the frame was not reinforced. Somethings you just do not buy used.

Sorry Im not joining in on the 'OMG it has to be a V8 or it wont be a Raptor circle jerk'.

2012+ are better than 2010-2011 because there is a tiny improvement in the frame, thats all Im saying.

Since this thread has gone to shit, I feel compelled to correct the error regarding the frame reinforcement and the appropriate years. The slightly thinker frame gusset was added in 2013, not 2012.

Most of the Raptors around where I live are always clean, always perfectly detailed, and never have a spot of mud so I could easily make the case that most Raptors are pavement princess status trucks like most trucks and 4 door Jeeps on the road these days.

Sorry, did you mean that dirty, muddy Raptor you kept posting pictures of that you wanted to make an offer on? Was that the perfectly detailed Raptor you were talking about?

Do you even know fact from fiction or are you a pathological liar?

Huh? I think you meant 2013, but I doubt you can even say what the improvement was.

Im glad youre following me around, its flattering.

Also that truck was filthy because it sits on the side of the road for months on end without being driven and all the filth on it is from rain/snow/wind/dirt accumulating, not from the driver actually driving it.

If I can save a tiny bit of money on gas and not lose any power why wouldnt I be for it? That little extra money can then be used for tires, rims, bumpers, etc for the truck. Win win.

Power = air+fuel. Doesn't matter how you got it into the cylinders. To make a certain amount of power requires a certain amount of air and fuel.

Accordingly, turbo cars are only "better" on gas when they are off the boost.

Yes, it was clear that mud was thrown up on the doors from rain splashing.
