I know part of the answer. the first year it was installed in the F250 was '99. It was available at least a year or more earlier in the motorhome chassis. Someone who knows the exact answer will be along shortly.

Yup '97 in the e-series.
2000 was the first model-year for the "PI" heads with higher HP and torque.
2005 was the first model-year for the 3-valve. E-series do NOT get the 3-valve, nor does the Excursion for 2005.

According to Wikipedia...
6.8 L V10
The 6.8 L (6763 cc, 413 CID) V10 is another variation of the Modular family created for use in large trucks. Bore size is 90.2 mm (3.552 in) and stroke is 105.8 mm (4.165 in), identical to the 5.4 L V8. Both 2-valve and 3-valve versions are currently produced. The 6.8 L uses a balance shaft to quell vibrations inherent to a 90° bank angle V10 engine configuration. The 2-valve version, built at Ford's Windsor, Ontario LVL engine line, was first introduced in 1997. For 2005, Ford introduced a 3-valve version of the 6.8 L V10. The 3-valve engine is built alongside the 2-valve engine at Ford's Windsor, Ontario engine plant.
Vehicles equipped with the 6.8 L V10 Modular engine include the following:
