dumbass. If they're not the same engine. It's not a TRITON then genius. Owned.

Triton just means that it has 3v's per cylender, the new mustangs have the triton.

1) modular engine: 4.6L, 5.4L, 6.8L V10; called Triton on ford trucks and Intech in Lincolns
2) Replaces the pushrod windsor series, manufactured first at the Romero Plant, but also at the windsor plant later on
3) Not called a modular because parts are interchangable, but from the manufactures ease of changing tooling for each engine family

RE: Modular engine?
Honestly, I don't know the mechanics of the 3v motor, only that it makes much better power then the 2v as there is more air flow. Also, they respond to mods MUCH MUCH better...

Whats up with the 3v anyway? Why have 1 port comin in and 2 goin out? I dont get it. Your not getting much more than a 2v right? Still only 1 valve letting air in. LOL maybe im stupid about this but i just dont get the consept of the 3v motor. [sm=headbang.gif]

i believe the 3v is 2 intake valves and 1 larger exhaust.
modular means basically its not a push rod, it has over head cams.
2v has 2 cams (1 per head)
4V has 4 cams (2 per head)
3v is the new style motor that is in 05+ gts.
