..You can get any, but you'll have to swap intakes if you pick one from a car, - which is where the 4six belongs IMO...

4.2L to 5.4L =

go for the 5.4L

Damn, dont major in math bro.

231-202 = 29 HP and thats the 2001-2006 4.6
293-256 = 37 TQ

So lets say 30hp/40TR, not 15/30.

I think that everyone is trying to help out here. I had a 5.4 that was sadly totaled by a woman 10000 years older than sand. So when I got the new truck I thought i would go with the 4.6 to save on gas. the new epa study says that there is about 1mpg diff betwen the 5.4 and 4.6 had i know that i would not have bought the 4.6 i liked my 5.4 WAY better. jmho
