Ford Modular V8
Modular 4.6L 4-valve DOHC V8 in a 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra
Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Also called: Ford Triton V8
Ford Triton V10
Lincoln InTech
Production: 1991present
Predecessor: Windsor V8
385 V8
Successor: Ford Boss engine

The Modular engine is Ford Motor Company's modern overhead camshaft (OHC) V8 and V10 engine family. It gradually replaced the Windsor small-block and 385 big-block engines over several years in the mid-1990s. Contrary to popular belief, the Modular engine did not get its name from its design or sharing of certain parts among the engine family. Instead, the name was derived from a manufacturing plant protocol, "Modular", where the plant and its tooling could be changed out in a matter of hours to manufacture different versions of the engine family. [1]. It is used in Ford trucks, (called the Triton) in Lincolns (called Intech) and in Ford and Mercury cars. Image File history File links Merge-arrows. ...

4.6 L

The first production Modular engine in the family was the 4.6 L (281 in³) 2-valve SOHC V8 introduced in the 1991 Lincoln Town Car.

Over the years, the 4.6 has been offered in 2-valve SOHC, 3-valve SOHC, and 4-valve DOHC versions. It has also been produced with both iron and aluminum blocks. Bore and stroke are nearly square at 90.2mm (3.552") and 90mm (3.543") respectively. Deck heights for all 4.6 blocks are 227mm (8.937"). Connecting rod length is 150.7mm (5.933") center to center. This gives a respectable 1.67:1 rod to stroke ratio. Single overhead cam (also SOHC) refers to the internal combustion engine design where one camshaft is located above the valves. ... In automotive engineering, an engine is referred to as multi-valve (or multivalve) when it has more than two valves. ... A double overhead cam (also called a dual overhead cam, DOHC, or twincam) engine is a type of internal combustion engine where the camshafts that operate the intake and exhaust valves are mounted above the cylinders, and where there are separate camshafts for inlet and exhaust valves. ...


Until 1999, all car engines were produced at the Romeo plant. In 1999 and 2000, Mustang engines were produced in Windsor. Production was moved back to Romeo in 2001. Most truck engines are from the Windsor plant, however there are many later model trucks with Romeo engines. All aluminum-blocked engines were produced at Romeo. While the basic design remains the same the two plants had different designs for main bearings, heads (cam caps), camshaft gears (press-on vs. bolt on), valve covers (number of bolts), crankshaft (number of flywheel bolts), and cross bolt fasteners for main bearing caps.


The Modular DOHC was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1996, while the SOHC was on the list for 2005 and again for 2006. Wards 10 Best Engines is an annual list of the ten best automobile engines selected by Wards AutoWorld magazine. ...

4-valve

The 4-valve DOHC version of the Modular engine was introduced in the 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII. The 1999 and earlier engines featured an aluminum block cast in Italy by Fiat subsidiary Teksid S.p.A. The engine was revised for 1999 with new cylinder heads featuring tumble-style intake ports, new camshaft profiles, and an improved, fixed runner length intake manifold. These changes resulted in more horsepower, torque and a broader powerband.

The Ford GT uses a highly-specialized version of the Modular engine. It is an all-aluminum dry-sump 5.4 L 4-valve DOHC version with a Lysholm screw-type supercharger and it showcases numerous technological features, such as dual fuel injectors per cylinder and oil squirters for the piston skirts, not found in other Ford Modular engines. It is rated at 550 hp (410 kW) and 500 ft•lbf (678 N•m), though independent testing has shown these numbers to be conservative, with GTs often producing numbers similar to the manufacturer flywheel ratings at the rear wheels on chassis dynamometers. The Shelby GT500 uses a 4-valve DOHC version of the iron-block 5.4 L Triton with an Eaton M122H Roots-type blower and air-to-liquid intercooler. It produces 500 hp (373 kW) and 480 ft•lbf (651 N•m) (SAE J1349 certified).

Modular 5.0 L R50 "Cammer" 4-valve DOHC V8 engine installed in a Grand-Am Cup Mustang FR500C.

In 2005, Ford Racing Performance Parts introduced a 5.0 L (4992 cc/305 in³) crate engine for use in motor racing and home-made performance cars, officially called M-6007-T50EA, but more widely known as "Cammer". FRPP developed the Cammer from the previous generation's aluminum 4-valve DOHC engine. The Cammer employs a 3.700" bore (3.552" is stock for modulars) achieved by re-sleeving the alloy/aluminum block to reach its 5.0 L of displacement. The Cammer that has seen success in Grand Am Cup — officially called M-6007-R50 — highlights a unique dual plenum intake manifold, Ford GT aluminum cylinder heads, unique camshafts, and a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
