What are you saving exactly? Weight? Fuel economy? I'm sorry but the fiat V6 is both lighter and more fuel efficient than the ancient 4BT. Theres about 30 years of development between the 2 engines.
If you're dyeing for an inline engine Ford is putting 3.2 i5 from the new Transit in the F150. Same engine that replaced the 4BT in brazil.
