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.
The engine is a modified version of the Ford Duratorq 3.2L diesel engine that has been adapted to meet emissions in the United States. To aid in economy, emissions, and reduce NVH , it has a high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system and piezo injectors that can spray up to five different injections per compression event.
1986–1987 Ford-Cosworth GBA engine—120° V6, 1.5 L (Formula One engine) 1986–2007 Vulcan V6 —60° pushrod V6 3.0 L, originally designed for the Taurus 1989–1995 SHO V6 3.0/3.2 L DOHC V6
For the 2005 model year, Ford's 4.2 L Essex V6—mated to either a manual transmission or a four-speed automatic—became available on regular cab 4×2 models and automatic headlamps became available. This generation of F-150 is the last Ford vehicle with a gasoline pushrod V6.
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.
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 ...
The problem, caused by the accelerated cooling of the blocks produced at full production speeds, was solved by increasing the width of the rib. To deal with the 5000 already completed engines that had received the potentially flawed block, Ford ran the engine assembly line backwards, disassembling the engines and stockpiling the internal ...
A turbocharged variant of the Barra engine was introduced in a new XR6 Turbo model and produced 240 kW (320 hp) of power. [15] A 5.4-litre V8 replaced the Windsor engine of the AU. The new V8 was a modified version of Ford's North American Modular V8 available in two variants: the Barra 220 generating 220 kW (300 hp) and a 260 kW (350 hp) Boss 260.
