The Triton engine is Ford 's modern line of Overhead Camshaft (OHC) V8 and V10 Modular Truck Engine s. 4.6 TRITON The smallest Triton was the 4.6 L (4601 cc/281 in³) V8 , based on the 90° Ford Modular Engine design. Bore of the iron Block is 90.2mm or 3.5517 in and stroke is 90mm or 3.543 in. This engine is available with either a Cast Iron or Aluminum block (only in the 2002-2005 explorer), but both use aluminum heads. All 4.6 L Tritons are either 2-valve SOHC or, with the introduction of the 2006 Ford Explorer , 3-valve SOHC designs. Ford's plant in Romeo, Michigan produces five different 4.6 L modular V8s, of which two are Tritons. The two Triton lines are the cast iron units used in the Ford F-Series , Expedition , and Econoline and the aluminum block versions used in the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer . The 2-valve SOHC version in the 2001 and later model years produces 231 hp (173 kW) at 4750 rpm and 293 ft·lbf (397 Nm) of torque at 3450 rpm. The 3-valve SOHC version produces 292 hp (218 kW) at 5750 rpm and 300 ft·lbf (407 Nm) of torque at 3950 rpm. Both use multi-port Fuel Injection , cam followers, fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, and a fiberglass reinforced plastic intake manifold. Applications:
5.4 TRITON Another Triton based on the Ford Modular Engine design was the 5.4 L (330 in³) iron/aluminum V8. Bore is the same as the 4.6, but stroke is lengthened to 4.16 in. The 5.4 L Triton family is available in two different versions: 2-valve The basic 5.4 L Triton is built in Windsor, Ontario at the Windsor Engine plant. As of 2004, it was used in most Ford trucks. It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum SOHC 2-valve cylinder heads. It uses multi-port Fuel Injection , roller rockers, fracture-split powder metal connecting rods, forged steel crankshaft and an assembled reinforced plastic intake manifold. Output for the 1999 and later model years was 260 hp (194 kW) at 4500 rpm with 350 ft·lbf (474 Nm) of torque at 2500 rpm. Applications:
3-valve In 2004, Ford introduced a new 3-valve SOHC head, improving horsepower and torque over the older 2-valve SOHC version. This engine also includes Variable Camshaft Timing , and first appeared in Australian Ford models {Link without Title} . The engine is built in Windsor, Ontario at Ford's Windsor Engine plant. It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum cylinder heads. It uses multi-port Fuel Injection , has roller finger followers, fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, forged steel crankshaft and the intake manifold is assembled of reinforced plastic. Output is 300 hp (224 kW) at 5000 rpm with 365 ft·lbf (495 Nm) of torque at 3750 rpm. Applications:
6.8 TRITON V10 Ford built a V10 variant for use in large trucks. It displaces 6.8 L (6802 cc/415 in³) and bore and stroke are 90.2 mm and 105.7 mm, the same as the 5.4 L V8. Both 2-valve and 3-valve versions are produced. 2-valve The 2-valve version, built at Ford's Windsor, Ontario LVL engine line, was the first. Introduced in 1997, it has a cast iron engine block and aluminum SOHC 2-valve cylinder heads. It uses multi-port Fuel Injection , roller followers, fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, forged steel crankshaft and a cast aluminum intake manifold. Output for the 2000 and later model years is 310 hp (231 kW) at 4250 rpm with 425 ft·lbf (576 Nm) of torque at 3250 rpm. Applications:
3-valve For 2005, Ford introduced a 3-valve version of the 6.8 L V10. This is built alongside the 2 valve engine at Ford's Windsor, Ontario engine plant. Output is 362 hp (266 kW) and 457 ft·lbf (620 N·m). Applications:
INTECH InTech is the marketing name applied to DOHC Modular engines in Lincoln cars and SUVs starting in model year 1995. Lincoln introduced the 4-valve DOHC version of the 4.6 L modular engine in 1993 and 5.4 L modular engine in 1999. They both feature DOHC heads with 4 Valves Per Cylinder . The Intech engine was also standard in the RWD 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, and FWD 1995-2001 Lincoln Continental. The 5.4 L engine uses a cast iron engine block and aluminum cylinder heads while the 4.6 L has all aluminum construction. The Ford "supercar" GT uses a unique 5.4L aluminum block. They are built at the Romeo, Michigan assembly plant. The InTech V8s use multi-port Fuel Injection , roller finger followers, and feature fracture-split powder metal connecting rods. The Navigator 5.4 L used a forged steel crankshaft while the Aviator 4.6 L used a cast iron crankshaft. The 5.4 L used a reinforced nylon composite intake manifold while the Aviator 4.6 L used an aluminum intake manifold with variable geometry runners. The Navigator 4-valve DOHC cylinder heads are unique to its application while the Aviator 4-valve DOHC cylinder heads are identical to those found several Ford cars including the 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Cobra .
