Yeah but now we are not talking about a production engine. I know Livernois can make a 5.3 engine along with their 5.1 and JPC/RGR has a 351 block but for something that Ford wants to put out they are heavily concerned with reliability. I agree with the PTWA statement though so you are correct, I think that now the 5.4 series is done for Ford will be using PTWA somewhere else but IDK how much strength that is going to give the block while opening up the bore to more than a 5.1L. I could be completely wrong because I can not say how strong the block would be with the PTWA treatment to be honest. It would be pretty awesome to have a big bore block from Ford though and I would love to see it, I would certainly snatch up that block if Ford made it available. So I really hope you are correct.
Hell I wish Ford would try and use the PTWA on a regular 5.0 on their sportsman block and see if that would hold up to the power levels that people need them to.
