4.6L 32 Valve (DOHC) Northstar Engine
The engine is a 4.6 liter (27Y cu.in.) 903 V-8 featuring Dual Overhead
Cam (DOHC), 32 valve, and sequential port fuel injection. This design
results in
a powerful, refined engine which is well suited to even the most
demanding driving conditions.
Engine weight is minimized by the use
of low mass alloy materials. The
crankcase, cylinder heads and oil pan are made from cast aluminum. The
induction system housing, cam covers
and oil filter adapter are cast
magnesium. The reduced engine mass enhances vehicle handling and
responsiveness.
