VEGE Remanufactured VFZ3 5.4L 330ci Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Eliminate catastrophic cam phaser slap with the VEGE VFZ3 Long Block Engine, built to execute a permanent commercial long block repower on hard working Ford trucks and commercial vans. This 5.4L 330 cid Triton 3V V8 delivers 300HP at 5,000 RPM. Installers must check roller rocker oil passage orifice diameters to verify unrestricted pressurized lubrication to camshaft journals.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 35 cast iron shapes the deep skirt 90° V8 engine block. A cast nodular iron crankshaft and forged powdered metal rods rotate inside this VEGE engine core. Starter draw measures 175A on 12V vehicle circuits. Dry weight measures 525 lbs across dimensions of 29in length by 27in width by 28in height. Pan capacity holds 7.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE VFZ3

Fleet supervisors buy VEGE VFZ3 Long Block Engine packages to eliminate recurring downtime during an industrial engine rebuild schedule. Upgraded iron cam phasers and high volume oil pumps resolve low oil pressure valvetrain starvation.

• Three valve per cylinder aluminum heads house dual intake valves to boost air charge velocity.
• Variable camshaft timing phasers continuously optimize valve events across dynamic engine loads.
• High volume oil pumps ensure steady pressurized lubrication to overhead camshaft journals under idle.
• The VFZ3 commercial core maintains 0.0017in connecting rod bearing clearance for dependable oil films.
• Hypereutectic pistons resist ring land deformation under sustained heavy payload pulling cycles.
• Full thread spark plug cylinder head redesign stops spark plug blowouts under heavy towing.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets clamp down tightly to eliminate combustion bore leakage.

Dynamometer Bench Validation Load Ratings

Dyno bench certification confirms 300HP at 5,000 RPM and 365 ft-lbs torque at 3,750 RPM for this VFZ3 long block engine. Gauge monitors record 55 PSI oil gallery pressure at 2,000 RPM with oil temperatures stabilizing at 195°F. Cylinder compression checks record 180 PSI across all eight cylinders within 3% balance. Crankshaft runout checks show 0.0003in TIR total runout. Exhaust temperature probes report 1,240°F under peak load.

Installation Protocols Maintenance Schedule Directives

Drive by wire throttle body connectors demand firm clip engagement to avoid sudden throttle fault codes. Installers must avoid this heavy duty replacement engine for older 2V modular chassis without Variable Camshaft Timing computer controls or vehicles with plugged oil cooler radiators.

• Drain break in oil after 500 miles or 30 operating hours then fill with 5W-20 synthetic blend oil.
• Inspect variable valve timing solenoid screens for particulates during initial maintenance.
• Check cylinder head fasteners in proper sequence reaching 75 ft-lbs plus 90° angle turn.

Crate Manifest Warranty Protection Coverage

Backed by the VEGE build standard, this long block includes a 3-Year or 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty. The heavy wooden crate holds the remanufactured long block core, oil pan, timing cover, valve covers, oil pump pickup tube, plus certified dyno test documentation.
