Don't know if you were aware of this but, the Eighth Position of the VIN identifies the Engine:
W = 4.6
8 = 4.6
L = 5.4
All of these are on car lots, and are all 'L'.

Speaking of goats. I got my old truck back from my mom. Effin no good, gosh darn goats and their hooves! They did their own rendition of Mossey Oak Shadowgrass with the paintjob.
I think it's time for some curry.

I should have just said, '5.4 = L in the 8 spot' and left it at that since that's what was germane.
Not to mention ponyrider is who knows where and it's PONY_DRIVER who's within 200 miles of the trucks I listed.
I'm such a loser.
Somebody pay jamzwayne ten bucks to jamzwayne the crap out of me. :o
Haven't checked in for a while... been busy moving. I will check them out. Thanks!

thanks for the effort, brother... The search continues...
I'm in Nashville, TN, by the way...

Think I better start putting the 4.6 in the search mix...
Question is... besides the cubes, is the 5.4 superior in any other way?
Is the pulling power that much different? Will I hate the 4.6?
Thanks for putting up with the newbie junk, gang!

Someone may have already posted this. 5.4 was not available in a 97 regular cab.
In 1998, the 4.6 was rated at 220 hp and the 5.4 was rated at 235hp (not sure on torque).

Yea, It's starting to look like I may end up with a 4.6.
Reg. cab , step side , 4X4, is rare enough to find in the years I can afford. Let alone with a 5.4
Good news is, nobody is seeming to want to get rid of these trucks, which is a good sign.
I'll be in one soon

Raoul, I have 2 F-150's in my driveway as it is...don't tempt me with those others.
PR,
Yeah I get an occasional ribbing from some Chebby guy about my moniker. I'd have changed it, but I have thousands of posts across the internet under this name by now. Although most will abbreviate it s aPony, or PD.
