Jesus even the 4.0T doesnt NEED that capacity.Three litres is plenty, and the software to make it so alongside the hardware cant be THAT expensive, can it?

Changing capacity can change the hole way a engine operates, look at the 3.0 Holden V6. ya need to rev the balls off it to get any power/ Toque and real life test's show the Falcon 6 is on par with the 3.0 Holden motor without DGI. Ford went down the road of reducing the 4.0 capacity in the past and it ended up back at 4.0.
keep the 4.0 liter Turbo, stuff the 4Cyl for the "Green" option stick a V6 Turbo diesel engine into the Falcon with a Diesel/LPG option.
