F:Ford F-150's can come with a V6
S:thats not the orinal V6 engine
S: its modified to fit in 350 cc
S: smaller block and drive shaft

V6 F-150 question
FreeAgent,
Your friend S is full of just that.....S***!
I'm pretty sure that the 4.2 liter V-6 was a NEW design by Ford (not the "Japanese") to replace the 300 I-6 that Ford stopped making.
The I-6 had plenty of torque so its replacement also has good low end torque for its size.
"Too much torque" is just a stupid statement. I think the engineers at Ford, who designed the engine, are capable of matching it up with a tranny,rear,suspension. etc.
The other statements are just too stupid to address,
Bill

V6 F-150 question
I think I recall reading somewhere that the 4.2 was a variant of an earlier V-6... the 3.8L. Found in older Fox bodies (Mustangs, Fairmonts, T-Birds, etc) and.... in the early 80's ('82-'83) F-150's!! It's not a Japanese design, it may be German.

V6 F-150 question
As far as I know the 3.8s and 4.2s are an American design. The 4.2 is just a bored and stroked 3.8. I've only ever seen one 3.8 in a F150. It was in our old shop truck. A real gutless wonder.
The 2.6,2.8,2.9 and 4.0 are German designed.
