The firing order has been changed from that shared by all previous Modular V8s (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8) to that of the Ford Flathead V8 (1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2). [17] Compression ratio is 11.0:1, and despite having port fuel injection (as opposed to direct injection ) the engine can still be run on 87 octane gasoline.
For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated. In a diesel engine, the firing order corresponds to ...
The 351W had larger main bearing caps, thicker and longer connecting rods, and a distinct firing order (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 versus the usual 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, a means to move the unacceptable "noise" of the consecutively-firing adjacent front cylinders to the sturdier rear part of the engine block all while reducing excessive main bearing load ...
Named for the 1962 Ford Taunus V4 engine and Ford Cologne V6 engine built in Cologne, Germany.. 1.2/1.3/1.5/1.7L were mostly in European Cars. 1.8, 2.0/2.3 had the same bellhousings bolt patterns with differences from year to year to be wary of.
In the 1950s, Ford introduced a three-tier approach to engines, with small, mid-sized, and larger engines aimed at different markets. All of Ford's mainstream V8 engines were replaced by the overhead cam Modular family in the 1990s and the company introduced a new large architecture, the Boss family, for 2010.
The base 4.6 L Triton V8 engine was dropped for the 2005 model year as the 5.4 L Triton V8 was made standard on all Expeditions and updated with 24-valve technology and variable valve timing. The Expedition also received a significantly updated version of the four-speed 4R70W automatic transmission.
Initially, the 4.6 L Triton engine and the new 3-valve 5.4 L three-valve-per-cylinder Triton V8 engines, respectively mated to a 4R70E and 4R75E four-speed automatic transmission, were the only two powertrain combinations available to the retail public on the new trucks.
The new V8s were marketed under the "Triton" name and mark the first use of Ford's Modular single overhead cam (SOHC) engines in the F-Series pickups. Ford's own 8.8 independent front suspension replaced the Dana 44 Twin-I-Beam front end, while the Ford 8.8 rear axle remained standard.
