The same engine also has a main page: Ford Duratec 37.
Lincoln Duratec 37 specs: 226 ci (3.7L) 6-cylinder, 3.76 x 3.413 in (95.5 x 86.7 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 300 hp, 2013–2016. Used in the Lincoln MKX.
The Lincoln Duratec 37 is oversquare — the 3.7598" bore exceeds the 3.4134" stroke by 10.1% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.4134" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,050 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 37.7 ci (617 cc).
4 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 300 hp across 2013–2016.
