Congrats!
Good job!
Although it's a van and a 5.4, check out this website (well over a million miles with no engine or trans rebuilds, and still on the original radiator hoses):
www.millionmilevan.com
Keep up the good maintenance; your cost per mile has to be *really* low, and that's a great thing. There are lots of cop cars, taxis, and limos that have seen 300-400k miles with 4.6 engines. My '02 E150 is a baby; only 70k miles.

I use castrol 5w30 which is what the manufacture says to use....5w30 that is.
Whats really amazing is that there is no leaks or squeaks and starts like new every time.
It has had external components replaced i.e. starter, fuel pump etc but nothing else.
Also, I'M the only one that works on it. NO ONE ELSE TOUCHES IT.
