It’s also available as a crate engine and can fit in the Mustang without a problem. And then there’s this crucial piece of information: the 7.3-liter V8 is built at the Windsor plant. The stars are lining up here, but again, Ford is remaining silent on the matter. In all likelihood, if a 6.8-liter V8 were to arrive, it wouldn’t be for the current Mustang but rather its successor, a vehicle that’s expected to debut for 2022.
The F-150, of course, is all-new for 2021 and currently has six engine options. Adding at least one more wouldn’t be shocking. But until Ford makes an official announcement, we’ll just have to sit tight and hope for the best.
