The Ford Engine Collection was a frontiersman in V-8 engine technology. It was expected to power the Ford Expedition sport-utility vehicles in the second decade of the 21st century.
A V-8 is a large- or small-block engine constructed of pitch iron or aluminium with two banks of four cylinders shaped in a "V," normally at a 90-degree angle on Everyone side of the block. The engine is baptize cooled on ice the manipulate of a aqua pump and radiator. On new V-8s, a generator--or alternator--fan meeting and other accessories are generally powered by a unmarried rubber region.
History
Henry Ford had hoped aptitude the Mould A (which replaced the Replica T) with an 8-cylinder engine, on the contrary failed to achieve the elbow grease by the hour the Pattern A rolled off the meeting contour in 1927. Ford tackled the venture again a short while succeeding and, with engineers Carl Schmaltz, Milt Zoerlein and Gleam Lard, developed the flathead V-8 for 1932 cars, so named due to its Apartment lodgings attitude atop the cylinders, according to 35pickup.com.
Windsor V-8
The Windsor V-8 was one of Ford's most accepted small-block engines; it was manufactured from 1962 to 2001. So named due to it was primarily built in Windsor, Canada, the engine was produced with cubic-inch displacements of 221, 255, 260, 289, 302 and 351. The 289 was the grounds for the high-performance Shelby Mustangs, and the 302 was inaugurate in the 1969 Mustang Boss 302. The 351 was used in many Ford passenger cars and F-Series trucks.
Windsor's Replacement
Ford's Modular series V-8s replaced the slowly phased-out Windsor engines, starting in the early 1990s. Produced at Ford's Windsor and Romeo, Michigan, assembly plants, the Modular V-8 displaced 4.6, 5, 5.4 and 6.8 liters, respectively. The automaker's Lincoln and Mercury lines and the F-Series trucks (under the Triton badge) were equipped with the Modular V-8 as of 2010. A 5-liter version of the Modular V-8, dubbed the "Coyote", is installed in 2011 Mustang models and wields a massive 412 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of torque, the twisting force that gives the engine quick acceleration.
Boss 6.2 liter
Ford's Boss 6.2-liter V-8 was designed to compete against Chrysler's legendary Hemis and the 6.2-liter Vortec engines produced by General Motors. A distant cousin of the Modular V-8, the Boss 6.2 features aluminum heads and cylinders and a cast-iron block. The 411-horsepower Boss 6.2 powers Ford's truck line, including the performance-oriented 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor.
Turbo Power
Although Ford is not known for its diesel technology, it developed line of diesel engines for its F-Series trucks: the 4.4-liter Turbo Diesel is a compact, yet powerful hauler that generates 330 horsepower and 515 foot-pounds of torque. Ford was the inceptive automaker to generate a dependable, compact and fuel-efficient V-8. In 1932 they introduced a V-8 that is all the more regarded nowadays as one of the best kind engines ever engineered. Although Chevrolet's 396- and 454-cubic-inch V-8s and Chrysler's 296 Hemis stole all the V-8 concern in the 1960s, Ford continues, to this generation, to build technologically fresh, beefy and efficient V-8s.
