The Ford 4.4 TD is a diesel V8 engine developed and built by Ford Motor Company. It has a power output of 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque. As with the other AJDs, it has a compacted graphite iron block that reduces weight while increasing engine block strength. Its bore diameter and stroke are 84 mm × 98.5 mm (3.31 in × 3.88 in), giving a displacement of 4.4 L; 266.5 cu in (4,367 cc).
The 4.4 L (4,367 cc) is built at Chihuahua Engine Plant in Chihuahua City, Mexico, along with the 6.7L Ford Power Stroke Diesel engine available in Ford Super Duty trucks. The current (and only) application of the 4.4 L (4,367 cc) TD engine is the Land Rover Range Rover.
While in development, the 4.4 TD was rumored to be for use in the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and as an entry-level diesel option for the Super Duty (to possibly compete with the also-rumored cancelled concept 4.5 L Duramax). No such option ever became available with Ford citing the reason as being in low demand for a vehicle with a $6000–$8000 premium over its gasoline models.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
