Lincoln 5.4 DOHC 4V specs: 330 ci (5.4L) 8-cylinder, 3.551 x 4.165 in (90.2 x 105.8 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 300 hp, 1999–2004.
The Lincoln 5.4 DOHC 4V 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. A rod ratio of 1.598 is in the range most production engines fall in. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 41.3 ci (676 cc).
It is one of 15 engines in the Modular family, the largest at 330 ci. 6 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 300 hp across 1999–2004.
