A couple of disappointments in reading the article.
Bore spacing is the same as the modular 4.6 and 5.4,
which doesn't allow any larger piston diameters.
So to get 5 litres they once again use a (nearly) square
b/s ratio. Piston is actually smaller than the "cammer"
engine.
There's just a bit of room for more displacement through
the usual stroker and/or slight bore increase but nowhere
near what I was hoping they might design for.
Some other dimensions are the same as the 4.6 also
such as crank bearings. So even though all the castings
are new designs, they pretty much fit the 4.6 template.
