Question 5.2l V8?????

Hey Guys,
I may just be completely in the dark here, but did ford produce a 5.2L V8 in '97 in the F150? I thought the only V8's that were put in the F-150 since 97 were the 4.6 and 5.4, but this guy at work insisted to me that ford put out a 5.2L for one year. I figured if there was anyone that would know it would be you guys.

Your friend is mistaken. He is probably thinking of 4.2 which is a V6

Homer is right, question your friend about the 5.2...the only engine that I've heard use that designation was the DOdGe 318.

oh, yeah Homer,
This guy isn't a friend. He's kinda an idiot as you can tell. But he blew his 4.2 in his truck which is a 98 and said that he looked at several 97 5.2s on the net. He instead went ahead and put another 4.2 in. He usually seems to know what he's talking about with cars but this time he's way off and miss informed, I guess.
