Ford 2010 330 500HP specs: 330 ci (5.4L) 8-cylinder, 3.553 x 4.166 in (90.2 x 105.8 mm) bore and stroke, 10.5:1 compression. Rated 500 hp, 2010. OHV.
The Ford 2010 330 500HP is undersquare — the 4.166" stroke exceeds the 3.553" bore by 14.7% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 4.166" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 5,750 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. A rod ratio of 1.598 is in the range most production engines fall in. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 41.3 ci (676 cc).
10.5:1 on iron heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; iron holds heat, so treat it as the less forgiving side of that range.
It is one of 15 engines in the Ford 330ci family, all of them 330 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement.
