Talk:List of Ford engines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Essex V6 was described as:

90° V6 3.8 liter, based on the Windsor V8

The commonly known Essex V6 was a British engine of max 3.0 litres and 60 degree. Was there another Essex engine of North American origin? —Morven 10:00, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I never knew the British Essex existed before the page was changed. I've usually heard the name referring to the Windsor V8-based 3.8 (built at the other Essex plant in Windsor, ON), and a quick Google search for "essex 3.8l" [1] brings up quite a few pages. Maybe a disambig is in order? -lee 03:34, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Confusion is due to the fact that until the mid90s Ford engines in North America and Canada were engineered separately. So, the NA planners named the engine after the plant it was built in -- the Essex Engine Plant in a suburb of Windsor Ontario, not knowing or caring that there was another "Essex" engine... The Canadian Essex was essentially a 5.0L with two cylinders removed.

[edit] Wrong year

The starting year listed for the Ford_Cologne_V6_engine is wrong. It says 1977 but the 2.8 liter version started in 1974 in the Mustang II.

[edit] Focus ST 5-cylinder engine

Why is there no entry for it? --HashiriyaGDB 12:20, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey IrishGuy who reverted me

Why is a VIN decoder not relevant to this article? This tool will reveal what type of engine is in a Ford vehicle given the VIN number. Sounds directly related to me. Let's chat. Corey Salzano 13:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about Ford Escort Diesel engine

It seems, that the Ford of Europe's 1,6-liter diesel or its 1,8-liter variant, often referred as the Escort diesel, is not mentioned here. I would ad it, but I have no idea what is its official name. I have learned to know them by their engine code, the LT-A,-B or -C (in 1,6-liter form), RT-C trough -G (in the 1,8-liter nat.aspirating form) and RF-D, -K, -M, -N (in turbocharged form), simply by LT RT and RN series...
