New Timing chain?

I have a 2000 Expy 5.4 Windsor motor. It has over 208 thous miles on it and has never had the timing chain changed. It still runs good with no apparent probs but I was wondering if I should tackle changing the Tchain and if this would make it run even better? Thanks fitzy67

I'd say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

No reason to change it. The chains on the modulars are not an issue until 300K+ miles.
