New Diesels..
Its coming to a town close to you...
The first of the camless engines in production will be a new 4.5L V-6. It is slated for the 2003 Ford F-Series trucks, E-Series vans, Expedition and Excursion. To be built in a new, $250-million plant in Huntsville, Ala., the V-6 "will have performance equal to a diesel V-8, with 20% better fuel economy, a 35% manufacturing cost advantage and 70% lower NOx emissions," promises Charbonneau. "It will enable us to enter the under 8,500-pound light-truck market, including SUVs, in high volume." A 3.5L version will appear in 2005.
The Camless is the one I am waiting for, This is the V6 that will be out in the 150...with the ower of a V8 diesel but with better fuel economy...This is going to be in my new 150...

From what I read in the latest automotive news, Ford canceled that contract with Navistar. Navistar already invested a great deal of money in this product, but Ford said that the light duty market isn’t there yet.
