Ford Modular Engine - Wikipedia

The Ford Modular engine is a series of overhead camshaft V8 and V10 engines produced by Ford Motor Company between 1990-present. The Modular engine family received its name from Ford's adoption of a modular approach to tooling and casting stations in its engine plants, allowing for faster production line changeovers. Key features of the Modular engines include single or double overhead camshaft designs with displacement ranging from 4.6L to 6.8L.

Ford Modular

engine

The Ford Modular engine is Ford Motor Company's overhead camshaft (OHC) V8 and V10
gasoline-powered small block engine family. Despite popular belief that the Modular engine
family received its moniker from the sharing of engine parts across numerous Ford vehicle
platforms, in reality, the Modular engine family was named as such by Ford Motor Company for
the new "modular approach" to the setup of tooling and casting stations in the Windsor and
Romeo engine manufacturing plants.

Implementing a "modular approach" allowed for significantly faster changeovers when switching
from one engine platform to another among the Modular engine family. This also allowed for the
existing engine plants, and their supporting offsite production facilities, to handle shorter
production runs. Implementing shorter production runs without incurring large shutdown and
retooling expenses helped to increase the versatility of those production stations that required
tooling or machining setups specific to a certain vehicle platform.

The Modular engine family started with the 4.6L in 1990 for the 1991 model year.[1] The Modular
engines are used in various Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Modular engines used in Ford
trucks were marketed under the Triton name from 1997–2010 while the InTech name was used
for a time at Lincoln and Mercury for vehicles equipped with DOHC versions of the engines. The
engines were first produced in the Ford Romeo Engine Plant, then additional capacity was added
in Windsor, Ontario.
