3 valve V10 - Diesel Forum

wufpack · 11-25-2002, 11:17 AM

I know they are planning on making the 5.4 a 3 valve engine next year. Has anyone heard if the V10 is going to be changed or not? I am looking at a truck for the beginning of next year. I was wondering if I should wait a little longer and see if the V10 will have 3 valves. I understand that would generate a little more HP and make it more efficient.

I've read where the 3 valve V-10, and the 3 valve V-8, are being sold now in Australia, so the engine is a reality. When it will be released here is a good question. A good guess would be when the 3 valve V-8 is introduced here. IIRC, there was an article on the 3 valve gas engines on BON a while back. SamC2

The 04' F-150's will have the 3 valve 5.4- Around 300hp, 380 pd.-ft.(i think) and improved milage.

[/ QUOTE ] I've searched the Ford Australia web site for the 3 valve V10. From what I can tell they don't offer any V10 in Australia. There is a 5.4L (no mention of how many valves) and the PSD. There is also a 4.2L turbo diesel in some Superduty models.

I've heard that, too, but how is it relevant to this conversation? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Sorry, wrong thread. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif[/img] That's what I get for having too many windows open at the same time.

What I've heard is that there making 3 valve 5.4's right now for
the Marauder at the new line in Essex
the 3 valve 5.4 will be here in 2004 for the new F150 launch
the super dutys will probably get the 3 valve 5.4 in 2005
I know they plan on making a 3-valve v-10 after that

I saw that the 3-valve 5.4 is making 300 hp and 365 ft pounds of torque at 3,750
right now the 5.4 peak torque (350ft pounds) is at 2,250 or 2,500
it's going to be a bit buzzy

Mark, here's where the info came from:

http://media.ford.com/article_displa...ticle_id=13620

The 3 valve V-8s were released in Australia in August 2002. The above article has some good technical info and pics of the new 5.4 3 valve engine. The V-10s were only mentioned as being produced in Windsor and Essex engine plants. Too much excitement, I guess. SamC2

My mistake
there for export to Australia
so it has to be for the Falcon

hammerdownracing · 11-27-2002, 12:20 PM

close, the marauder gets the 305hp 4 valve 4.6 ... a cross between the old mark VIII motor and the mustang 4 valve...

Mark Kovalsky · 11-27-2002, 12:58 PM

You are correct, it is the 4 valve in the Marauder.

This is the all-aluminum V8 used in the Lincoln Aviator too, right? As well as the new Mustang...Cobra(??) but slightly retuned for that application.
