This engine features Variable Valve Timing to increase air flow and performance at higher RPM’s as well as the Charge Motion Control Valve system to regulate air flow into the intake ports. The Block for the 4.6L is made of Iron while the heads are cast in Aluminum for reduced weight and longevity.
