Now there are alot of fans of the V6 I can see, but I would like a better V6. My dream truck would be

-2005 STX Reg Cab Flareside
-4.2l V6* w/ 3.73 gearing
-4x4 lifted 6.5" and 37" tall tires
-automatic

*-depending on the fact that since the 5.4 got the 3V treatment so should the 4.2 Now if the 5.4 got a 15% HP increase, the 4.2 would get 235 HP. If the 5.4 got a 4% torque increase, the 4.2 would get 265 lb-ft. Those are stout numbers. Make it happen Ford!

 

but even with the upgraded 3v 4.2, performance would be about the same in the new body style as the old motor in old body style because of the heavier 04,05... bodies. and 3.73's with 37 inch tires would SUCK! you would need 5.13's to keep up with those huge tires.

 

Whoa! Hold on here. Did I miss something? What's this about a 3V 4.2L V6? I've heard nothing about this. Please inform me if this is true or not, or post a link about this 3V 4.2L engine.

 

There is currently no 3V 4.2l V6. We are just say IF there was and there SHOULD be one. So dont worry, its all talk right now.
