While the actual engine is the same, the turbo, the intercooler and that whole system is way different, hence the 235 hp rating as opposed to the 325 in the pick-ups. Ken
This is very interesting because I was about to post a question about that. My 1997 van is the reason I wanted a V-10 in my pick-up truck, too. The van's intake is quiet compared to the Superduty V-10 I just bought a couple of weeks ago. The truck's intake is louder and sounds almost as if it's carbureted. It kinda gargles or slurps if you can understand what I am saying. I never noticed it on the test drive. It doesn't do it when revving it in Neutral. It also goes away when it tops out in high gear. It doesn't seem to be less powerful than the van, to the contrary, it's as smooth and pulls away without downshifting on rolling accelerations.
Anyone have this same situation??

I did not see anything about the 6.8 liter 3V engine in the van either. It did make a big deal about the 3V engine in the pick-up though, so I wonder if the E-series will get it. Maybe there's a ton of older 2V engines Ford has laying around that will go into the vans until they're used up ? But that article definitely did not say one thing about the new motor for the vans, unless I missed something, but I read it pretty thoroughly I thought. Ken

I may be wrong, but I think what Ford will do is sell the "left-over" two-valvers as crate engines.
I think once it's manufactured for a specific model year, it can't be used as a next year model.
I won't stand firm on that, but I believe I have heard that from relatives who have worked at Ford's assembly plant. I'll see what I can find out from them...

It would seem odd they would not include the E series since the engine first debuted in a Ford truck in the E series.
You may well be correct, Ken. Ford sometimes does inexplicable things.
Hope no offense was taken... I may be way off the beam, too.
