Mitsubishi 4G54 specs: 2.6L (156 ci) 4-cylinder, 91.1 x 98 mm (3.5866 x 3.8583 in) bore and stroke. Rated 105 hp, 1978–1983. Used in the Dodge Challenger.
The Mitsubishi 4G54 is undersquare — the 3.8583" stroke exceeds the 3.5866" bore by 7.0% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.8583" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,200 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 39.0 ci (639 cc).
It is one of 3 engines in the Astron family, the largest at 156 ci. 6 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 105 hp across 1978–1983.
