the new full cast I6 will be much lighter than the current design. Plus, it will be sleevless as well, further reducing the weight. I would also expect a similar above water exhaust as is on the ROS.

So you think they will tweak the 6 rather than up the power of the new v8 platform?

Yes this seems to be the plan. This has been a bullet proof platform for Merc, and the 350 & 400 are the only I6 models offering the new water cooled SC and redesigned induction system, so I would expect to see this on the redesigned larger displacement block.

So you mean a larger displacement six cylinder...
