Engine: Ford Modular 5.4L 330ci SOHC 3-Valve V8

Product Overview

The Enginetech ES6250 is a stock-specification replacement left-hand camshaft for the early Ford 5.4L SOHC 3-Valve Modular V8.

It is designed as an OEM-style replacement for the original Ford left-bank camshaft used in the early 5.4L 3V engine configuration.

Enginetech specifically catalogues the ES6250 for the 2004 5.4L 3V engine and specifies that it is to be used with Enginetech L5400 lash adjusters.

This camshaft is different from the later 2005-on 5.4L 3V camshaft design.

Ford OEM / Interchange Part Numbers

Known interchange and supersession numbers include:

• Enginetech ES6250
• Ford 3L3Z-6250-JA
• Ford 3L3Z-6250-JB – supersedes 3L3Z-6250-JA
• Ford 3L3Z6250JA
• Ford 3L3Z6250JB
• Ford 3L3Z-6250-GA / GA-LH – referenced in Ford parts interchange catalogues

Ford base number: 6250

The original Ford 3L3Z-6250-JA is listed as the driver-side / LH camshaft and was subsequently replaced by 3L3Z-6250-JB.

Confirmed Vehicle Application

Ford F-150

2004 Ford F-150 – New Body Style

• 5.4L 330ci V8
• SOHC
• 3-Valve
• VCT
• Petrol
• LH / driver-side camshaft

Applicable to various 2004 F-150 models equipped with the 5.4L 3V Triton V8, including configurations such as:

• F-150 XL
• F-150 XLT
• F-150 STX
• F-150 FX4
• F-150 Lariat

Cab and drivetrain configuration does not generally affect the camshaft application; the critical requirement is the correct 2004 5.4L SOHC 3-Valve engine.

Australian Ford 5.4L 3V Application

The Australian Ford Barra 220 / Barra 230 is also based on Ford’s 5.4L SOHC 3-Valve V8 architecture.

These engines were fitted to Australian BA/BF models including:

• Ford Falcon BA/BF 5.4L V8
• Ford Fairmont BA/BF 5.4L V8
• Ford Fairlane BA/BF 5.4L V8
• Ford LTD BA/BF 5.4L V8
• Barra 220
• Barra 230

Important: ES6250 should not be advertised as a blanket replacement for every Barra 220/230 without checking the original camshaft identification or Ford OEM number.

Ford changed the 5.4L 3V camshaft and lash-adjuster arrangement between the early and later engine designs, so Australian engines should be matched by OEM camshaft number, build date or physical camshaft specification before installation.

2004 Camshaft Identification

Ford technical information identifies the early 2004 LH camshaft as:

Ford 3L3Z-6250-JA

The early camshaft uses a different camshaft nose/indexing arrangement from the later design.

2004 specification

• LH camshaft: 3L3Z-6250-JA
• Enginetech replacement: ES6250
• Lash adjuster: Enginetech L5400

Later 2005-on specification

The later Ford 5.4L 3V engine uses a different camshaft design.

Enginetech lists:

• LH: ES1584
• RH: ES1585
• Lash adjuster: L2305

These should not automatically be treated as interchangeable with ES6250.

Matching Right-Hand Camshaft

The matching early-style right-bank camshaft is:

Enginetech ES6251

Ford OEM reference:

• 3L3Z-6250-HA
• superseded by 3L3Z-6250-HB

Therefore an early-style camshaft pair consists of:

LH: Enginetech ES6250
RH: Enginetech ES6251

Important Fitment Information

This is a LEFT-HAND camshaft only.

Before ordering, compare:

• Existing Ford camshaft part number
• Engine build date
• Camshaft nose / VCT indexing
• Lash-adjuster design
• Cylinder-head configuration

Ford made running changes to the 5.4L 3V valvetrain, and later 5.4L 3V camshafts are not necessarily interchangeable with the early design.

Not suitable for Ford Australian **Boss 260, Boss 290, Boss 302 or Boss 315 5.4L DO
