countrybumpkin Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 just for abit of fun, what does everyone think is the best engine ford have ever made? it can be anything from a pre-crossflow to a zetec but no cossys or lotus's only ford produced engines
Stu_B Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I'm gonna say pre-crossflow... but only cos I love the sound of mine on 40's
kevmk2 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Either a pinto or a duratec, after driving a duratec powered mk2 i have to say i am impressed
hotrodholty Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 X/FLOW bullet proof, high revving, cheap to buy/build, piss eay to work on. you cant go wrong with a pushrod
DAZZA Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Pinto's........ had about 5 in various vehicles. You just cant blow them up!
escort21 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Xflow...remember the valencia kent based engine was used in the ford KA
Rick Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 got to be crossflow, still going strong in kit cars and in modern form. also wasnt the bda based on a crossflow?
NeilT Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 390 boss its got enough talk to pull a house down
antz Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 got to be crossflow, still going strong in kit cars and in modern form.also wasnt the bda based on a crossflow? indeed it was!!! crossflow for me the grass trackers love em, kit cars love em, the army used them, rally cars had em, track cars had em, formula fords used them. everyone loves a xflow
bortaf Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I'd have to say the KENT engine, used in pre crossflow then crossflow then valencia, HCS and endura E, any engine that can remain mainstream (Ok with some Magor upgrades) for 40 odd years MUST have been pretty good in the first place Aint a duratec a mazda lump
V8ian Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 289/302/351 windsor SBF, Or if we just want to go Ford odballs, 427 Cammer, a conservative 500hp and 500ft/lbs of torque straight out of the box, Wiped the Chrysler Hemis A-se all the way to the finishline, Shame Nascar decided to ban Big Blocks
Toby Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 what does everyone think is the best engine ford have ever made? it can be anything from a pre-crossflow to a crossflow! Quick, lets start and end this poll now!
Toby Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Suppose really it has to be a BD..... then the Pre-cross
V8ian Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Ahh, But the BD is not a production engine built by Ford, It was a Cosworth build, if we were talking General Ford Engines, I would be either the MAE, which put cosworth on the map, or the BD, or the double BD, the DFV
hotrodholty Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 390 boss its got enough talk to pull a house down they never did a 390 boss, they where 302's and 427's the 390 was the gt 1967/68 (bullit mustang)
V8ian Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 390CJ would be the Hp version,?? was the Cammer sold as the Super Boss??

V8ian Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 if we are going old, It has to be the first Ford V8 fitted to the 32model B, same basic format was still around inthe 60s in french army vehicals.
