The Lincoln 4.6L InTech engine is a naturally aspirated V8 from Ford Motor Company used to power select Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, including the Lincoln Mark VIII and Continental.
The InTech V8 is also a part of the Ford Modular family. It shares its aluminum-block architecture with the V8 that powered the SN95-generation SVT Cobra, and features a dual overhead cam (DOHC) design with four valves per cylinder. One key difference between the InTech and other modular 4.6L V8s is the block itself, which was cast by an Italian company called Teksid. The specialized manufacturing is said to have made the block significantly stronger than its counterparts.
