5.4L V8

I know there have been some power increases with this engine since 1997 can anyone tell me what years have what power? I might be getting an E350 van and knowing this would help me find the right one.Thanks RB

I believe 2004 f-series was the first year the 5.4L with 3 valves per cylinder was available, it is rated at 300 hp 365 lb/ft of torque

Before the 3 valve I believe there was a power increase also. ????????????RB

Ok I found it!I knew there was an increase but couldn't remember when. RB The 5.4-liter Triton V-8 and 6.8-liter V-10 engines both serve up more power for 2000. The V-8 powerplant's horsepower increases from 235 to 255, and the V-10 horsepower increases to 305 from 265. Torque increases from 335 foot-pounds to 350 for the V-8 and from 410 to 420 for the V-10.
