The Ford Lightning engine is a 5.4-liter Triton V8, similar to those found in the F-150 and Ford Expedition of the same vintage. However, the Lightning-specific engines have forged steel internals, including pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which can withstand substantially more power than the standard engine. The engine has a cast-iron engine block with aluminum cylinder heads.
The 1999-2004 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was powered by a 5.4-liter (351 cubic inch) V8 Triton engine with a 4.0-inch bore and 3.5-inch stroke. The engine featured an Eaton Gen IV supercharger and a liquid-to-air intercooler. The Lightning engine had a compression ratio of 8.4:1 and produced 360 horsepower in the 1999 and 2000 model years, and 380 horsepower in the 2001-2004 model years.
