Boeing Investigates 767-XF and Possible PAX version to replace NMA
During the end of 2019, as it still produces the 767-300F - it was announced that Boeing will investigate the possibility of a 767-XF. A freighter based on the 767-400 with new GeX Engines. Using extended landing gear to add clearance for the new engines. "Sources indicate that a passenger 767-X development is also part of the project, which Boeing is examining as a cheaper, lower-risk alternative to developing the NMA – a clean-sheet design powered by next-generation engines."

I vote for a new 757 variant! Though, I do love me some 764 goodness!
With today's mindset of Boeing, the risky B-707, B-727, and B-747 would most likely not have been built. We would have the super stretched B-377 MAX instead.
They won't do it! Boeing simply does not want to build the NMA. Why won't Boeing build the #^$#% NMA?
NOOOOOOO. Redesign the 767 to accommodate different engines? See the 737-Max on how well Boeing did with that project. I'm not saying it can't be done. It just shouldn't be done with the existing Boeing middle and upper management.
I pray that Boeing has learnt its $18 billion lesson from the Max debacle. The Max may well go down in history both as the most successful 737 variant and Boeing's biggest failure.
Consumers, airlines and Airbus need Boeing to succeed. Or else the door will be wide open to Chinese and Russian aircraft manufacturers.

But when Airbus does that with their A32x and A33x, it’s ok?
The engines fit on the airbus. The engines did not fit on the Max and Boeing had to get creative. If the engines fit on the B767, then they fit.
