The 4.2L also came in Econoline vans from 1997 to I believe 2004 as the standard motor. My opinion of the 4.2L, (and this is based on experience working on lots of them for DHL) they don't last very long unless a severe maintenance schedule is followed to the letter. I have seen them go up to about 300,000 miles on this schedule. That is using semi-synthetic Castrol oil and Napa Gold oil filters and oil changed every 3000 miles.
