    Ford has also been sourcing its 2.7L and 3.0L V6 HDI engines from Peugeot for the past few years. But an in-house diesel V8 sounds just great to me!

    I like snakes. Especially Ford branded snakes. Cobras, Scorpions, etc etc. Wait a minute. That's only 2 snakes so far. I need more coffee to wake up from a groggy and drunk weekend. Pardon me.

    @stoke has a JDM front wing: Give the guy a break, it is easy to think of a scorpion as a snake, just look at one. All those legs, claws and stinging tail are very snakelike. How do you tell them apart?

    So, best options to install this in?

    Yeah, yeah, there's the F-series, but that's boring. We've heard a suggestion for the Crown Vic... which I agree with wholeheartedly. Also the Mustang, would be a good option.

    I'm thinking, maybe, an old Country Squire wagon. Mmmm. Tons of torque, towing ability, and reasonable fuel economy? Suddenly we have a great road-trip vehicle for the summer!

    @Deartháir II: The Return: Not me, Om Nom. He came up with the idea of putting a Duramax diesel into a mid-sixties Chevy Impala wagon. My contribution was to suggest that it be named "Lenny". It's probably buried several months back on his wall or in the CSRSL galleries.

    Looks promising, but so did the 6.0PSD and look at what a mess that is.

    I'm very happy for Ford and what a great job they're doing right now, definitely the top US OEM by leaps and bounds. But I'm not holding my breath on their in house diesel until we get some test rigs on the road with some miles on them. The 6.0PSD screw up between them and Navistar was a complete mess, mostly due to Ford's hands in Navistars honey pot. Let's give this diesel a few minutes of life before we declare it the savior of man.

    Holy moley, what a testing regimen. The "shock loop" runs the engine at full power output until it's red hot (probably literally in a few spots), then shut down and pumped with -16 coolant until they can fire it up again at the same power setting. They do that for 75 hours!

    Again I say, Ford appears to be the company to follow among American manufacturers.

    Big diesel development: in house. GM: sucking off Isuzu's tit. Chrysler: third party supplier.

    Backwards compatability for gearheads: this package fits in the current frame with no mods. Get the wrenches, honey!

    Fuel economy: well, yeah. It's more efficient than the current model, so unless you flog it like a rented mule, it's going to go farther.

    Innovation: Sequential single turbo? WTF? Then you read up on it. Yeah, it's seguential. And it's a single. Big power, small package, better thermal management - win, win, win.

    Thinking outside of the box: what box? I don't see a box.
