• Large-borearchitecture
– Helps improve engine breathing with larger intake
and exhaust valves
– Allows for a shorter stroke design for faster
engine speeds (higher engine rpm) and
increased horsepower

MAKE THE POINT: 6.2L V8 Gasoline Engine
The 6.2L SOHC V8 is a higher-revving engine that offers outstanding performance and durability. Some customers
may notice or comment that this engine may seem to rev higher than previous Super Duty gasoline engines under
certain driving conditions. Assure the customer that this is a normal characteristic of the wide operating range this
engine delivers, which helps Super Duty offer exceptional payload and towing capability.
