Ford and pushrods have been defunked for 2 decades now.....besides the 6.7L PS. Ford unveiled their new 7.3L Big Block pushrod V8 yesterday. Vastly different from their usual overhead cam designs. Pushrods do have benefit.....you can make a lighter and more compact engine. This new 7.3L V8 will be paired to the new 10 speed automatic trans.....available on F-250 and up trucks. Exciting and interesting stuff! The Boss 6.2 will remain as the standard powertrain.
