Question Windsor or Romeo

I am the happy owner of a 1998 Econoline Universal 4.6L V8 Triton.

It is the only one in France

I want to know what type of engine is in it.

One this Website I read that 6G840AA is a Romeo engine and the 6G870 OR 871AA are Windsor engines.

Mine is coded 7G900AB

Can somebody give me some infos about the engine I have got in my van.

Many thanks in advance

Bernard

Welcome to the forum

What is the Vin #? It should have either a 6 or a W for the engine code.

I believe that 6 is a Windsor and W is a Romeo.

It's my understanding that the main difference between the two is the heads.

How about this https://www.ford-trucks.com/tsb/full...php?tsb=96-8-6

So the easy way appears to be the differences in valve covers.

11 bolt and 13 bolt valve covers maybe?
Also a Romeo has flywheel bolts and the Windsor has 8.

Yes, I have read that and mine seems to be a Windsor engine.

I was wondering what was the diffrence between the 6G' engine and the 7G' engine.

Mine is a 7G900AB

My van VIN is: 1FDRE1464WHA16138

Is it the original engine, a rebuilt one a specific type of engine?

I have spent hours trying to find infos about the 7GXXX type no luck yet

Could be a number for an exported engine.
