I've only seen estimates so far anywhere from 5-10k. honestly the tires alone are going to be a 1-2k option let alone the large amount of other goodies.

I’m kinda hoping it will be less than that if they really want to attack the jeep market.

I think just the tooling requirements, parts, production lines, all the logistics of doing it will necessitate doing so in that time frame. I think they'll be better off. If the bronco proves itself in capability and "reliability" it will really start to take off i think in the year 2-4 of release as a large majority isn't going to buy the first year release model. Plus you'll need something to re-energize the market after its been out for roughly 4 years already anyway and that would be just the ticket. No need to blow your whole wad if you will out of the gates.

I was wondering why Andrew White hasn't done a video yet on it. But I also bet Ford will do a diesel and V8 to compete with Jeep, hoping!

Come on now, we could always dump the 3.5L V6 out of the Ford GT in it and smoke the 392 also. LOL

True. I love the thought process of the hellcat lineup. Go fast straight and don't worry about turns. Ha ha. A 300 hp civic type r would kill a hellcat on a real track.
Ford's 7.3l should fit. It'll snap every single part under a Bronco, but I'll bet that it'll fit. If Jeep's going to get frisky with V8's, they might still lose that battle. Honestly though, the 2.7l Ecoboost is plenty.
Dry sumped, it's going to be a hardcore musclecar engine. 600+ HP naturally aspirated.

Ford’s New 7.3-L Gas V-8 Can Be Tuned to 600 HP and Fit in a Fox-Body Mustang
That's without any boost, mind you.
