They should be hitting the lots right now actually. Multiple magazines have already done tests on them and if they live up to the Ford/Magazine hype, its going to be hard for Chevy or Dodge to outperform the new Scorpion diesel platform.

I think there should be a baby scorpion. Say a 4.0 liter 300 hp, 480-500 lbs of torque enginge for the half-tons and maybe as an entry for the F-250. They have motors at least this strong in other products and with smaller displacement so I don't think that the power level is outlandish.

Oh well I can just keep dreaming!

My 7.3 runs 235hp and 500lbft. But I reckon anything can be done...

A lot of improvement has happened in diesel tech ovr the last ten years. now 80hp/liter is normal for cars and anything less than 120lbs/liter is wimpy.
