I have a 3.7 in my 2011 f-150.

As a "base" six cyl pick up engine (think 300 six from years ago) this thing is a screamer!!!
If I mat it and hold, it (as well as 3 other 3.7's I tried in minivans/pick ups) it shifts at 6750rpm and after one or two gears it is hitting 7000 shift points. FROM THE FACTORY!!

It would be a labour intensive job to pull a head/etc, but I see a LOT of potential in an all aluminum, 4v per cyl, dohc engine!

I could see this flowing enough (with more duration of course) to run 8500+ in stock.
Love to hear if anyone has built one for racing. (and not the twin turbo crowd either lol)
