Ford Motor Co. is developing a 4.4-liter V-8 diesel engine for use in the F-150 pickup later this decade. The engine would be a scaled-up version of a 3.6-liter V-8 diesel Ford began producing for Range Rovers in April at a plant in Dagenham, England. Timing of the new diesel's appearance in the F-150 isn't certain. If the 4.4-liter engine is approved, sources say Ford would need at least two or three years to launch production.
The 500RC features a supercharged Ford's 5.4-liter V8 engine with maximum power output of 445 hp and 500 fl-lbs (678 Nm) of torque. That is about 145 hp and 135 ft-lbs (183 Nm) more, than is capable to produce the original version of the engine.
