Ford 5.2 Voodoo flat-plane crank specs: 315 ci (5.2L) 8-cylinder, 3.70 x 3.661 in (94 x 93 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 526 hp, 2016–2020.
The Ford 5.2 Voodoo flat-plane crank is close to square: 3.7" bore against 3.661" stroke, within 1.1%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.661" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,550 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. A rod ratio of 1.621 is in the range most production engines fall in. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 39.4 ci (645 cc).
It is one of 3 engines in the Ford 315ci family, all of them 315 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 526 hp across 2016–2020.
