The Ford HSC engine is an automobile gasoline engine from the Ford Motor Company, sold from 1984 until 1994. HSC stands for High Swirl Combustion.It was made in two displacements: 2.3 L and 2.5 L, and used in only two model lines: the Ford Tempo/Mercury Topaz and the Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable.
Produced from 1958 through 1960, it was only used in Mercury vehicles. It used a 4.30 in × 3.30 in (109.2 mm × 83.8 mm) bore and stroke. Output began at 312 or 330 hp (233 or 246 kW), both with a four-barrel carburetor. The 322 hp (240 kW) was the only output for 1959, and power dropped to 280 hp (209 kW) for the final year.
Four-stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines: intake (1), compression (2), power (3), and exhaust (4). The right blue side is the intake port and the left brown side is the exhaust port. The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounding the piston head which creates a space for the combustion of fuel and the genesis of mechanical energy.
The Mercury Y-Block was 256 cu in (4,194 cc) and produced 161 bhp (120 kW), [3] again a similar displacement to the 255 cu in (4.2 L) Mercury Flathead V8 it replaced, but with 29% more power than the older engine's 125 bhp (93 kW). [4] The original Lincoln V8 was also known as a Y-Block. Lincoln introduced their engine in 1952, but it was a ...

Mercury discontinued separate station wagon models, with the Colony Park becoming a Marquis-based station wagon. The Grand Marquis name made its first appearance in 1974 as part of an interior trim package for the Marquis Brougham. [4] [5] In addition to a wood-trim steering wheel, the interior was fitted with leather-and-velour split-bench ...
Because of interchangeability, the Mercury crank made a popular upgrade in the 239 among hot rodders. In fact, in the 1950s, the flathead block was often fitted with crankshafts of up to 4.125 in (104.8 mm) stroke. [21] In addition, rodders in the 1950s routinely bored them out by 0.1875 in (4.76 mm) (to 3.375 in [85.7 mm]). [21]
Oil slosh occurs in dry-sump systems too, but it is much easier to design a remote reservoir to tolerate high amounts of slosh, by being tall and narrow, and having large baffles. Increased oil capacity by using a large external reservoir, which would be impractical in a wet-sump system. Improvements to vehicle handling and stability.
