Can anyone tell me what is the largest Gas engine Ford makes?

 

Currently it is the 6.8 litre (415 CI) V10 for production vehicles. Mabey the 460 CI is still available as an industrial engine. Until the emissions era in 1975 they made a 534 and 477 CI gas engine for heavy duty (super duty) trucks. f-800,f-, c-800,c-900 etc. They would not burn clean so the 370 and 429 heavy duty gas motor replaced them in the late 1970's.

So the largest V8 production motor is a 477 or 534?

 

The biggest one they still make I believe is the 460, might be the 6.8 v10 though... The biggest one they DID make I'm pretty sure was the 534 in the big trucks.....

 

the biggest production gas motor right now is the V10. they are making a hemi fighter but its still going to be smaller than the V10. the V10 is 6.8 and the hemi fighter is going to be i think 6.2L

 

Sp what is the largest V8 motor? My son heard Ford and Chevy were making super block V8's

 

are you looking for current production or in the past??? current: the biggest V8 you can get in any of the ford trucks is the 5.4L V8. but ford is working on the hemi fighting motor that i think they said is going to be a 6.2L V8 and its rumored to be out in like 2006 or 2007.

 

Atten Deckedout150: Have you heard any particulars about the 6.2 litre engine? I am sure it will be part of the modular family. I heard that Ford will produce a 5.0 litre engine to qualify the new mustang in the Trans Am series.

 

Sorry for sounding stupid but how many Cubic inches is the 5.4 and the 6.2? Also what is a "modular" engine?

 

i have not heard to many paticulars on the 6.2L. theres not to much out about it. the most i have read about it are in truck trends magazine and in truckin' mag. it will be a modular motor. there are talks also about it being powerful enough to "possibly" do away with the V10 in the super duty trucks. as for the horse power that is not known either all i keep hearing is that it will be 355hp and something like 455 Ft lbs of torque maybe more by the time it comes out to compete with the hemi. as for the modular 5.0L. there is talks about for porducing this as well. robert yates racing helped ford make this motor and the one they made is all aluminum. there is also a rumor that they may come make a Boss 302 mustang with the motor. I will try to find more info on these things and as i find it will post it.

 

the cubic inches of the 5.4 is 330 cubic inches (329.94 to be exact). if i remember right you take the lieters and times it buy 61 or 61.1 so if i am right the cubic inches of the 6.2L are around 379 cubic inches. as far as what is a modular engin, it is slightly differnt than the other EFI engins, the biggest thing si there is no distributer. the spark and everything is all computer controlled.from what i am noticing no one seems to really know what it means. most people are saying there are more interchangeable parts. heres more info i found also:
The modular engine focuses on low friction, excellent sealing and increased block stiffness. The design results in an extremely smooth running engine using aluminum heads and having all accessories rigidly mounted to the engine. Both the engine block and head are machined to close tolerances to produce a very precise assembly. The head bolts of modular engines actually extend past the cylinder bores into the bearing webs, eliminating bore distortion and providing a better head gasket seal. The sophisticated overhead cam design uses roller finger followers to lower friction and increase the RPM potential of the engine. On the bottom end, the deep skirt engine block and cross-bolted main caps contribute to a higher rigid assembly

 

heres more on the 5.0 modular

you can buy one now at ford racing parts. its a crate motor now but if they produce it it will be built form the 4.6L

 

mmm focus RS8 i want one...

 

Great thanks for the info!!

 

The 3.9, 4.6 and 5.4 modular motors use many of the same internal parts. The only basic difference is the crankshaft which gives the different displacements. The 6.8 V10 is also modular. It is basically the v8 with two more pistons added to the back of the block. The saving in this design is huge. With the overhead cam design this motor has 10% fewer internal parts than a pushrod v8. There are other engines in the modular family; I think the new 4.0 v6 and a 4 banger.
