Ford has been using MWM/Navistar International engines in their Brazil built Super duty's for years now.... Shame we couldn't get one of those in the states. Our very own "Barfly" lives in South Africa and drives a MWM powered F250.. MWM supply's diesels for the Chevy S-10, Jeep Wrangler, Volvo, Volkswagon, etc. http://www.navistarengines.com/ http://www.nav-international.com.br/default.asp?su=4 http://www.navistarengines.com/product-overview.aspx These engines were built in Brazil & have been installed in GM & Ford trucks & vans in South America.
Some spec info cribbed from a web source (use info at your discretion):
MWM International Sprint: 4.2L I6
Peak Torque: 510 Nm (376 Lb Ft) @ 1,600 RPM Peak Horsepower: 180 Hp Weight: 259 Kg (570 Lbs) - ALL
Mechanical OR Electronic fuel injection 3 valves per cylinder - 2 intake, 1 exhaust OHC cross flow cylinder head ---------------------------------------------------------Some info on the new Ford Scorpion engine..... Sources say Ford continues to make good progress testing its upcoming in-house-designed 6.7-liter V-8 diesel engine. The new engine will replace the Navistar-sourced 6.4-liter V-8 Power Stroke diesel engine in Ford’s heavy-duty pickups by 2011. Code-named Scorpion, the new motor is said to pack plenty of sting — plus a few other surprises. The latest power targets are said to be more than 390 horsepower and 720 pounds-feet of torque. Today’s Power Stroke diesel is rated at 350 hp and 650 pounds-feet. Scorpion fuel economy is expected to improve by 3 mpg or more compared to the current Power Stroke. Helping the Scorpion’s mileage will be a new six-speed automatic transmission, like the 2009 Ford F-150 will have. How important is this motor? The move is expected to permanently end Ford’s longtime use of Navistar-built diesel engines in its heavy-duty pickups, due to an ongoing legal battle between the two companies over warranty and cost issues related to the old 6.0-liter V-8 Power Stroke (model years 2003-07). Ford has used Navistar diesels in its F-Series trucks since 1982. It’s not yet known if the Scorpion will continue to use the Power Stroke name or if Ford will create a brand new label for the engine.
