Another new V8 ?Uh, pretty sure the 3.0L EB uses an aluminum block. The design may be similar to the 2.7L Nano V6 but the block is not.
Why do you think an aluminum block 6.8 would be "bigger than the current 7.3 l Godzilla"? The overall block dimensions are generally based on the bore and stroke requirements, not the material the block is made from. As I said in my other post, because of the shorter stroke a 6.8L could have a lower deck height which would actually make it physically smaller than the 7.3L. Extra ribbing or thicker internal webbing may be required to add strength in an aluminum block, either of which might add a little more weight, but that would not make the block physically too large to fit in "many enginebays". I have nothing against using CGI for an engine block when it is necessary but for some applications it would be overkill.Fri, 06 Nov 2020 12:18:58 +0000
