The Ford E-Series offers two different variants of the 7.3L V8 Gasoline Engine. One rated for power (the Premium), and one rated for efficiency (the Economy). Both have their place and provide customers with enhanced customizability when it comes to getting a vehicle that delivers on their requirements.
The 7.3L V8 Premium Gasoline engine was built from the ground up, and was engineered with durability, and hard work in mind. It boasts features such as robust pistons and ring packs with anti-wear coatings, a forged steel crankshaft, a cast iron engine block, piston cooling jets, carbon-nitrided needle bearings in the valve train, and a variable-displacement oil pump located in the pan. The pump accommodates engine wear changes over time, as well as ensures proper lubrication with cold-weather starts.
| Power Output | |
|---|---|
| HP @ rpm | 350 hp @ 5,500 rpm |
| Torque @ rpm | 468 lb.-ft. @ 3,900 rpm |
The 7.3L V8 Economy-Rated Engine is designed with efficiency in mind. It delivers exceptional power, while maintaining emphasis on improved economy. This is a great alternative when squeezing the most power out of the vehicle isn't as important as fuel, and fund management. This engine is calibrated to provide the best of both worlds. Power when you need it, economy for the long hauls.
| Power Output | |
|---|---|
| HP @ rpm | 300 hp @ 3,750 rpm |
| Torque @ rpm | 425 lb.-ft. @ 3,450 rpm |
The Torqshift® 6-speed automatic transmission is versatile enough to be paired with both engines, and robust enough to deliver the high performance needed for the 7.3L V8 premium rated engine. A multi-segment friction clutch design helps maximize oil flow, reduce power loss, and ensures efficient performance with maximal productivity. The substantial torque and horsepower output of the premium engine can be mitigated through the use of a 2-stage, 3-plate torque converter design.
