Introduced with the 2015 Ford F-150 is a twin-turbo 2.7-L V6 EcoBoost engine. It delivers 325 hp (242 kW) and 375 lb·ft (508 N·m).[49] The engine is built at the Lima Ford Engine Plant.[50] Ford has invested half a billion dollars in the Lima plant for the new engine. Ford also states that the new engine will bring 300 jobs to Allen County,[51] but transfers from other plants make the actual number hard to pin down. A 335-hp version is to be an option on the 2017 Lincoln Continental. Being a next-generation design, it uses compacted graphite iron, a material Ford uses in its 6.7-L PowerStroke diesel engine. As of 2018 the 2.7L has been upgraded with the most prominent change being the addition of port fuel injection. Ford claims that horsepower is unchanged at 325 while torque is boosted 25 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft.[WIKI]
