Ford Power Stroke 6.7 16.2:1 Specs: 3.90 x 4.25 in, 390-500 hp

See other engines in this family

Ford Power Stroke 6.7 specs: 406 ci (6.7L) 8-cylinder, 3.90 x 4.25 in (99.1 x 108 mm) bore and stroke, 16.2:1 compression. Rated 390-500 hp. OHV.

The Ford Power Stroke 6.7 is undersquare — the 4.25" stroke exceeds the 3.9" bore by 8.2% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 4.25" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 5,650 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 50.8 ci (832 cc).

At 16.2:1 this is a compression-ignition engine: the ratio is the heat source that lights the fuel, not a knock limit to be managed.

It is one of 3 engines in the Power Stroke 6.7 family, all of them 406 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 390 to 500 hp. Factory fitments include the Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford F-450 Super Duty and 1 other.

What these numbers mean

Bore/stroke character0.918 — undersquare — stroke exceeds bore, which favours low-end torque
Mean piston speed at 6,000 RPM4,250 ft/min — in the range typical of performance street engines
Displacement per cylinder50.8 ci
Static compression16.2:1 — high enough that pump premium or better is normally required
