Interestingly enough, they came out with the 7.3 gas for folks that didn't want/need a diesel. But the turbocharged 3.5 V6 puts out more hp and torque.
While the V6 has more power, I've always held the belief that the smaller,and more powerful, they get the shorter the life span they have. Bigger and slower lasts longer in my book.

You are right. All that extra mass down low holding the crank firm will keep it happy for a long time.

I was just wanting to see a torque number in the 500-550 range.

It would be interesting to see a pulling contest between the 7.3 gas and the 3.5 turbo. My money would still be on the 7.3.
An old hot ridding term. "There's no replacement for displacement. "

I walked across the street and pick terrific sweet corn last night. Corn seed company plants a city block for everyone to enjoy.

That would never work here. People would pick the corn before it was ready and fight each other over it in the process.

Where's the power at in them?
In researching the two of them, it came out about like where I figured. The 3.5's power band is higher than the big block. The 7.3 is designed to grunt lower, much lower. To me, that's better pulling power and longer life. A lot remains to be seen, but I envision a very long life engine here.
