Ford 5.8L Trinity specs: 355 ci (5.8L) 8-cylinder, 3.681 x 4.165 in (93.5 x 105.8 mm) bore and stroke, 9:1 compression. Rated 662 hp, 2013–2014.

The Ford 5.8L Trinity is undersquare — the 4.165" stroke exceeds the 3.681" bore by 11.6% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 4.165" 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. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 44.4 ci (727 cc).

Static compression of 9:1 on aluminum heads is low for the displacement, which is deliberate on a boosted engine — the supercharger supplies the rest of the effective ratio, and static compression plus boost together set the fuel requirement.

2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 662 hp across 2013–2014.
