What are the horsepower and torque ratings for 1998 Ford 4.6 - 5.4 6.8L engines?

The horsepower and torque ratings for the 1998 Ford 4.6L, 5.4L, and 6.8L engines varied slightly depending on the application (truck, car, van, etc.) and specific configuration. There wasn't a single rating across the board. You need to specify the exact vehicle model to get the precise figures.

However, I can give you *general ranges* to expect:

* 4.6L Modular V8: This engine typically produced between 200 and 260 horsepower and 260-300 lb-ft of torque, depending on the application. Some higher-performance versions might exceed these numbers.

* 5.4L Modular V8: Generally, expect to see horsepower figures in the 230-280 range and torque in the 300-350 lb-ft range. Again, this is a general range, and specific applications could vary.

* 6.8L Modular V10: Primarily used in heavy-duty trucks, this engine usually produced around 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

To find the precise horsepower and torque for your specific 1998 Ford vehicle with one of these engines, you should:

* Check the owner's manual: This is the most reliable source.

* Look up the engine code: Ford uses engine codes (e.g., "Triton" for the modular V8s, but there are sub-codes within that) that will help you narrow down the specs. The code is usually found on a sticker on the engine itself.

* Consult a reliable online database: Websites like Ford's own website (if they have archived information), or reputable automotive parts websites may list specifications based on VIN number or engine code.

Without knowing the specific vehicle model, a more precise answer isn't possible.
