Are you saying that having an injector pointing into the port of each cylinder won't provide balanced fuel distribution to any engine, or just to inline 6 cylinder engines? If it's just inline 6's that you claim aren't properly served by this injection strategy, can you explain why? If you claim no engine is properly served by this injection strategy, can you explain why?

Wouldn't any engine have a problem with "air distribution" without an intake manifold? Aren't all manifolds fabricated? My guess is that you mean custom fabricated as opposed to manufactured by a factory somewhere but that's obviously not true.

So you claim this manifold design must have port injection ("not workable without port injection") to provide adequate air distribution to be workable but port injection won't "correct" the fuel distribution so what's the advantage of this mysterious manifold design?

A) no interest in swapping a much less durable engine and B) the Ford 4.2L v6 was available OE in fullsize vans starting in 1997 so yeah, it stands to reason a van could use the engine as fitted by Ford.

You seem to have some idea that a v6 is inherently more efficient than an I6. Is that correct?
