Ford Triton 5.4 SOHC 2V specs: 330 ci (5.4L) 8-cylinder, 3.551 x 4.165 in (90.2 x 105.8 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 230-260 hp, 1997–1999.
The Ford Triton 5.4 SOHC 2V 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).
It is one of 16 engines in the Modular family, sitting between the 281 ci and 415 ci members. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 230 to 260 hp across 1997–1999.
