The Ford 4.6L SOHC 2V and 3.8L OHV engines were ubiquitous powerplants in Ford vehicles for over two decades, powering a wide range of models from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. The 4.6L engine, also known as the "Modular" engine, debuted in 1991 and featured a single overhead camshaft (SOHC), two valves per cylinder (2V), and a displacement of 4.6 liters. This engine was available in various configurations, including naturally aspirated and supercharged versions, and found its way into popular vehicles like the Mustang, Crown Victoria, and Lincoln Town Car. It was known for its smooth operation, relatively high horsepower output, and durability. On the other hand, the 3.8L OHV engine, also known as the "Essex" engine, was a more compact and less powerful option compared to its 4.6L counterpart. It featured a pushrod overhead valve (OHV) design, a displacement of 3.8 liters, and was commonly found in Ford models like the Taurus, Contour, and Sable. While less powerful than the 4.6L, the 3.8L engine was still known for its reliability and fuel efficiency. Both engines shared a common design philosophy, relying on robust construction and proven technologies to deliver reliable performance and longevity. Their popularity made them a cornerstone of Ford's product lineup for years, powering a wide variety of vehicles and earning a reputation for their versatility and dependability.
