Igor knows me from over on BlueOvalNews.

Retired from FoMoCo in '07 with 30+ years of Powertrain controls experience. I still have contacts in that area.



The 4.4L and the 6.7L were designed primarily in Dearborn. Those engineers were cautioned not to even look at the Lion because there is some Navistar technology in there. A lot of good stuff was "borrowed" from the Puma (a 4 cylinder).

Calling either the 4.4L or the 6.7L a "Lion" is a common mistake. IIRC it might have gone by the name Griffin at one time.
WELCOME

BTW I had heard that like the 4.5l Duramax, the 6.7l uses the new inboard exhaust .. heard any of that?
