The largest displacement version (at {{cvt|337|cuin|L|1|disp=sqbr}}) of the production Ford flathead V8 engine was designed for large truck service. When Lincoln could not produce the [[Lincoln-Zephyr V12 engine|V12 engine]] it wanted for the 1949 model year, the 337 engine was adapted for passenger car use. The 337 features a {{cvt|3.5|in}} bore and a {{cvt|4.375|in}} stroke.

It was introduced in the 1948 two and a half ton and three ton Ford trucks and the 1949 Lincoln passenger cars. It was produced through the 1951 model year. In 1952 it was replaced in the Lincoln passenger cars and Ford three ton trucks with the [[Lincoln V8 engine|Lincoln Y-block]] {{cvt|317|cuin|L|1}} [[overhead-valve]] V8. The two and a half ton Ford trucks got a {{cvt|279|cuin|L|1}} version of the 317 engine.
