(1) A Ford Pushrod NA V8 Engine

(2) The Ford Dealership told me that there would be no Ford V8s soon.
Maybe as far as Ford boosted V8 Diesels go.

3) The Ford 1.0L EcoBoost Fox engine received important updates in 2017. Although thermodynamically similar to its predecessor, it was entirely reconfigured to integrate a new cylinder deactivation system for improved efficiency. A dual-mass flywheel and a vibration-damping clutch disc were also added to quell engine oscillations when running on two cylinders. Offered in two different variations, with different power ratings, the Ford 1.0L EcoBoost Fox engine was awarded the International Engine of Year twice. It powers the following vehicles.

Ford Fiesta
Ford Focus (European market)
Ford EcoSport

Ford 1.0L EcoBoost Fox engine was awarded the International Engine of Year TWICE.
Obviously the International JUDGES have a different opinion.

Do the job, and then we can talk again.

I seriously doubt Ford would kill their “cash cow”( truck production) to keep the “greenies” happy. The F series Ford truck IS the main stay of corporate light truck fleets.

Totally Agree.

Just Saying the Pushrod Gas engine is ANOTHER example that the conventional gas & diesel engine will be around for quite some time.

2.7 million ECOBOOST engine vehicles, (all I wanted was a single dollar for each vehicle, LOL!).

My biggest takeaway from the ecoboost 3.5L gas engine is how tough and reliable they have been in heavy duty use. A fleet of 18 passenger vans with that engine I worked on from 2015 to 2022 didn't have a single major mechanical failure. No turbo issues, no valvetrain, lower end, or even transmission problems. Two of them had over 300K miles on them. Oil leaks, minor coolant leaks, coils and O2 sensors sure. But nothing major. Very impressed. That engine will NEVER make the 10 worst list. It's a V-6 anyway.
