Default Hang On! The 3 valve isn't dead!

I thought the Barra 220/230 according to the official release was axed in the Falcon because of a plant closure America but apparently according to Wikipedia the 3 valve V8 is still in production now uprated to 239kw and 529nm of torque and is used in the F series trucks:

[edit] 3-valve
In 2003, Ford introduced a new 3-valve SOHC cylinder head with variable camshaft timing (VCT), improving power and torque over the previous 2-valve SOHC version. The 3-valve cylinder head was first used on the 2003 Ford Fairmont 5.4 L Barra 220 engine in Australia.[7] The 3-valve 5.4 L was introduced to the North American market in the redesigned 2004 Ford F-150.
