I was reading on the new triton for the 2003 F150, and the article mentioned the Ford Falcon from Australia. I looked at the Ford website for Australia, and not only do they make a 3V 5.4 L motor there, but also a 4 valve 5.4L motor there. Also the Falcon is one sweet looking car. Why don't they sell it here. It looks WAY better than the Taurus.

I also went to the Argentina site, and they have a F100 pickup, that looks amost exactly like an F250.

But the main thing that perplexes me is why they have that new 5.4L motor with 4 valves in Australia ALREADY???????

Go Cubbies! 1st Place!!!

Hi From Down Under
I have a Ford Falcon with the 3V 5.4l V8 with VCT and its a bloody nice car and a great smooth V8.
The 4V motor has the stock 5.4l block but with the 4.6l heads with no VCT and put together down under here in aussie.

Does VCT = Variable Cam Timing?
