this engine will not be available to buyers until Nov and no one should really
buy a new engine unless one is into being a beta tester(masochist). <G>  
Do go read the url, it is excellent.  supports the point that Fords are TRUCKS!
I have decided to wait until next year to order/buy my van.

cheers
