For example, the Cobra R Mustang produces 385 hp since its powerplant benefited from new, high-flow cylinder heads that were designed with features developed for Ford’s “Rough Rider” off-road racing program. One should note that the performance outcomes differed significantly from each line of vehicles due to Ford’s special adjustments. This version of the engine was installed in Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R, the Ford GT supercar, and the Ford Shelby GT500, also used in the Ford Falcon line in Australia under the Boss moniker. Instead of 2-valve using a single-overhead cam (SOHC), the 1999 version of Ford 5.4L engine is a 4-valve engine with a dual-overhead cam (DOHC), marketed as an Intech V-8 engine.
This time, there were 2 main significant differences. This original engine was nominated in Ward’s Auto World not only once but twice, in 02 to be 1 in the 10 Best Engines worldwide.Ģ years later, in 1999, Ford introduced the new version of the Ford 5.4L engine. Besides, Ford 2-valve 5.4L engines are also equipped in Ford F-series, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Ford E-Series, and Ford F150 Harley Davidson Edition. Actually, some versions, for example, the Ford SVT Lightning F-150 that came with a supercharger, generated up to 380 hp. It can produce 255 hp at 350 ft-lbs of torque with the help of a 9-to-1 compression ratio.
Special features of the Ford 2-valve 5.4L V-8 engine are roller finger followers, multi-port fuel injection, fracture-split powder metal connecting rods, and in some applications a forged steel crankshaft. The engine has a cast-iron engine block and aluminum cylinder heads, using a single-overhead cam (SOHC). The secret formula is exceptional quality and attention to detail that Ford has carefully developed for this line of the engine since when it first debuted.ĭating back to 1997, when Ford first installed the 2-valve 5.4L into the Ford F-150 pickup truck, this engine was marketed as a Triton V-8. However, the Ford 5.4 L V-8 stands out to be considered as the best built engine by Ford in the industry. The engine pertains to Ford’s modular engine family together with 4.6L V-8 and the 6.8L V-10. Indeed, this engine has been installed in many of Ford’s most popular vehicles.
When we talk about the Ford 5.4 L V-8 engine, many would remember that the legendary engine is one of the “10 Best” engines as nominated by Ward’s Auto World.
