Here's an interesting photo, look what's stamped on the charge air pipe
No cat on that L5P test motor, I like that version better

Cleaned up the environmental garbage. Although the seal comments were funny.
So basically they crammed more emissions crap under the hood, and added a bunch more unnecessary but nice features.
Where's the upgraded body and front end?

It is an optical delusion. The cut is in a different place relative to the valve center line. Valve opening is about the same. Slightly higher floor and the entry into valve is more tangent to the cylinder.
Do you have any thoughts on the new crank Jon? Or anything else on the long block that you think is a good improvement for the high performance crowd??
Details are painfully few and far between.
The larger journals will go a long way to address crank failures since the primary factor appears to be the overly thin throw with no where to add material. Increasing the Mains would have accomplished the same thing, but I don't know if there was room in the block casting.
The larger journals. however, may create new problems for the high rev performance people.

Looks super easy to build delete parts for now. Almost want to cancel my 16 and order a 17 lol almost
For me, I'd go with a 16 because we know they can be deleted. Who knows how long it will take with the 17 before somebody can build a delete kit for it. The ECM is still an unkown at this point. With all the new security protocols, who knows what it could take to get into the ECM. Then again, it could be a walk in the park, guess we'll all find out next year when they start hitting the lots.
Yeah I just hate the cp4 and was planning on keeping the warranty temporarily but maybe I'll just save up and do a cp3 swap and delete same time
It's a tough choice though seeing as how the new trucks have a beefier crank, massive rods, redesigned heads, and so on and so on. And they did away with the cp4, installed an electric lift pump stock now, so maybe it might be a better choice. I wished I had the money to find out. Was at a fishing expo today and looked at a new f-350 on display. $72k, and it was just a well optioned 4x4 dually, not even a special edition.
After looking at this comparison pic of the heads I can see the ports look better

Not really info, but interesting none-the-less. That DOC looks fun to take out while in the truck :woott:
