Ford 54 2V Sohc PI specs: 330 ci (5.4L) 8-cylinder, 3.551 x 4.165 in (90.2 x 105.8 mm) bore and stroke, 9.8:1 compression. Rated 300 hp. SOHC.
The Ford 54 2V Sohc PI is undersquare — the 4.1654" stroke exceeds the 3.5512" bore by 14.7% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 4.1654" 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 41.3 ci (676 cc).
9.8:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 16 engines in the Modular family, sitting between the 281 ci and 415 ci members. Factory fitments include the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Ford E-Series and 2 others.
