When you are paying $15,000 more for a Navigator than an Expedition you
have to get something for your money. Eight extra valves and some gaudy
chrome seems a good trade off for $15,000.

Sixteen extra valves. And there is not much chrome.They used the
existing Lincoln mill, not one cooked up to justify the higher cost
than the Ford. The question is why does any Lincoln need that. The
mill would look cool, if you could only see it. Remember the Jags with
the DOHC inline six? They looked cool. The Lincoln is fender to fender
grill to firewall accessories. Like the kitty practical joke laundry
basket with the towels covering up the dog.

Isn't the stanard 5.4L three valves per cylinder now?

Maybe they are now, but ours has four. Our Aggrivator is an 02.
Cadillac had the 32 valve Northstar, and Lincoln had to have the same.
The thing has some wood accents, very nice walnut, on the steering
wheel, a bit on the dash and doors. So I call it the Sliverado. It is
a truck, as is another vehicle with a similar name.
