All the 5.4's in the Econolines are 2V. Not as much power, not as much drama.


Mine pulls strong and burns virtually no oil. But the point is mute, you've already got your big 6, which I agree are very cool!

Thank God for that. The 2v had issues, but very minor ones. I Thought all the 5.4s in the later models were either 3 or 4 valve...

I know sixes are not everyones favorite approach, but I grew up with them being the most reliable engines available. My AMC Hornet 232, my Jeep 258, my parents multiple Chrysler slant sixes, and countless Ford 300s throughout the family...

My 2 top choice vans were the RB 300 inline six, and aV10 EB, the V10 van was a lot newer but was beat like a red headed step child...
