4.2 V-6

Can anyone tell me if the 4.2L V-6 is just a Triton 4.6L with the last two cylinders lobbed off? Maybe that would explain why it is such a good engine...

No, they are different engine families... The V10, however, is a whole nuther story.

A moot point now, but if you do the math and tack on two more cylinders to the 4.2 you would end up with 5.6 liters, not 4.6.
