Triton V8

Because my 1981 F-150 has been such a great truck, i have been out of the truck market for over 20 years. Technology has sure changed the engines alot. My 4.9L has over 200,000 (un-rebuilt) miles on it and there's plenty of life left in her. But hesitantly, i decided to buy a new truck.

I bought a 2002 4x4 F-150 with the 5.4 V8. Now here's my question: What exactly is a "TRITON" V8? I have a 96 cougar with the 4.6 and i realize its basically the same as the 5.4 being that they are both modular engines. But this "TRITON" word has me wondering! I feel "old" asking this question.

Triton V8

It's just a name, kinda like GM's "VORTEC" or Dodge's "MAGNUM".
