Engine Specs for a 2001 Ford 5.4L
- The basic 5.4-liter V8 produces a respectable 260 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 350 foot-pounds of torque at 2,500 rpm. It has an engine displacement of 5,408 cc, a compression ratio of 9:1, a 3.55-inch bore and a 4.16-inch stroke. The 5.4 came standard with several trim packages, including the Lariat, the SVT Raptor SuperCab and the XLT Super Crew.
- Strictly for Ford's hot-rod F-150, the SVT Lightning, the supercharged version of the 2001 5.4-liter engine provided massive power, lending credence to the specialty truck's name. Ford's Specialty Vehicle Team managed to get 380 horsepower from the engine at 4,750 rpm and a brutish 450 ft-lbs of torque at 3,250 rpm. The Lightning's 5.4-liter plant was outfitted with aluminum alloy heads and a forged steel crankshaft. The motor redlined at 5,250 rpm.
- Versions of the 5.4-liter V8 powered many Ford vehicles in 2001, including the Expedition, the Excursion and the Lincoln Navigator SUVs. Ford used versions of the 5.4-liter engine in high-performance cars as well, such as the Mustang SVT Cobra R, the GT supercar and the Shelby GT500.
