The 5.4 L DOHC 32‑Valve V8: Aussie Heritage in Steel
Falcon BA / BF Series
When the BA‑series Falcon launched in 2002, Ford Australia offered the 5.4 L V8 as the top‑end V8 option. That included the performance‑oriented Ford Falcon XR8 in sedan and ute form.
As the series evolved into BF, the 5.4 DOHC V8 carried on powering XR8 variants (sedan and ute) up until around 2008, when emissions regulations and changing market demand forced Ford to phase the 5.4 L V8 out.
