Looks like Navistar isn't going to give up on the 6.4 anytime soon even if Ford went to the 6.7 PS.

New Truck, New Engine For Navistar
March 10, 2010
At the National Truck Equipment Association’s Work Truck Show, Navistar unveiled its new entry in the Class 4/5 commercial truck segment, the International TerraStar.
At the heart of the new truck is an all-new 6.4 L MaxxForce 7 V-8 diesel engine. An evolution of the engine Navistar once made for Ford, the engine is rated 300 hp with 660 lb. ft. torque. The engine incorporates a compacted graphite iron (CGI) block that Navistar said offers high strength without added weight. Navistar uses CGI blocks on its largest MaxxForce 11 and 13 L diesels.
The new MaxxForce 7 also includes twin turbocharging, a Siemens high pressure common rail fuel system and the company’s Advanced EGR emissions system. The engine is mated with a commercial-duty Allison 1000 transmission.
The TerraStar will initially be available with a 4 x 2 drivetrain, with a 4 x 4 drivetrain planned for 2011. The MaxxForce 7 engine is built at Navistar’s Huntsville, Ala., engine plant, while the truck is manufactured in Garland, Texas.
