Need suggestions on the best 5.4 Coil Pack

Need to replace coils on a work truck, 2000 E250 with 5.4.
Anyone ever use the Accel coils?
I use Delphi in my FX.
Hoping to save a few bucks.

5.4L's don't use coil packs. In fact, they never have. The 4.6L's did in the past.

You have a COP ignition. So yea, they're just coils.

There's two brands that are one in the same as far as spec. These are Visteon and Motorcraft. Locate them on the eBay or Amazon site for a fraction of the price. Purchase a new set. They should be around $180. They come and go. Sometimes easy to find, other occasions, difficult.

There's NO substitute for the brands listed above. Really. - So don't even ask lol.

OK, so I showed my age calling them coil packs, eh, you understood what I was talking about.
Does Visteon make the Delphi brand?
Not that it matters for the work truck, but if I can save 50% on the FX coils and get the same performance then I'm there.
Thanks.

No, Visteon is the same as OEM Motorcraft. No other brand will improve performance without spending close to 500 bucks.
