I've heard around 330kw too, but you can count on the power figure being an underestimation to what it'll actually make. But more importantly, this engine will be lighter than the 5.4 even with the blower, and it'll have much better torque because of the forced induction.

Rumours are that there will be a more powerful version also...

More aussie jobs to go... :buttrock:

Not likely, they need to be stripped down to fit the lower comp pistons, and the supercharger inlet assembly needs to be fitted plus whatever bits are needed to fit it to the Falcon, and the extra demand should mean no loss of jobs. According to one of the guys on FF that is, and he knows.

Adds credence to when Rod Barrett said they would still keep the assembly line here. Its just that now they won't need all the custom parts the 5.4 requires bar pistons, inlet manifold etc.
