Thanks

Im a lil mixed up about your question. Maybe I've got it backwards but I think that they used NVH blocks in either all the 2nd Gen years or in the latter years only, backwards from what your stating/asking. It's got me thinking now haha. I'm going to look this up now lol... Stan

Ford first 5.4 blocks were called NVH blocks. They started producing them in 97' (I believe) with the new body style. They were thicker and beefier than the newer ones. Sometime, around 01'(I believe), they started using a different style block that was approximately 25 lbs lighter. Just trying to find a newer block, that's why I called it a non-nvh block. Sorry about the confusion. If you can find some info about that it would be great!! :thumbsup:
