Essex V6
The Essex V6 was described as:


 * 90&deg; 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? &mdash;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" 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulmeisel (talk • contribs) 16:45, 2 January 2006

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.227.205.86 (talk) 08:50, 9 March 2006

Focus ST 5-cylinder engine
Why is there no entry for it? --HashiriyaGDB 12:20, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

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)

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... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.248.56.90 (talk) 14:20, 11 January 2008

European 6 cylinder Diesel engines
These engines appear to be unrepresented in this list. This is the most common classification of truck & bus engines in Europe & are commonly available from ~4 litres to ~11 litres in size so there are a large number of different engines 94.174.119.101 (talk) 19:00, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Ford Model K was not a failure
It is a myth that Ford Model K was a failure. Rob Heyen have done an extensive research from newspapers and magazines of the time that demonstrates that the 40 hp 6 cylinder Model K was a success technical as it won several races as well as financial. Henry Ford however wanted to build a cheap car for the masses which was why he made Model T. At the end of the 1920's where Chevrolet beat Ford with their 6 cylinder cars, Ford did not just carbon copied Chevrolet, but overran them with a at the time pretty impressive cast iron wonder V8. It may be here the myth was created why Ford did not come up with a 6 cylinder like Chevrolet.

Sohc V6
I don't see the 4.0 v6 SOHC which most Explorers use, am I missing something? Jasonknet (talk) 02:46, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The list is in chronological order, and the 4.0 SOHC V6 is a variation of a much older engine design, so it can be found listed as "1964-2011 Cologne/Taunus V6". --Sable232 (talk) 21:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Ford 120 cubic inch inline four
I didn't see any mention of Ford's 120 cubic inch flathead four that they used for industrial purposes such as tractors and generators. It seems like it is worth mentioning. My understanding is that it was essentially one half of a Mercury 239 V8, but I didn't see any mention of it. 2600:1005:B1CD:524:0:0:177D:3C01 (talk) 02:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Are there reliable sources confirming this? --Sable232 (talk) 21:50, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Confirming what? The existence of the 120 cubic inch inline four?  The point about it being half of a Mercury 239 V8?  What constitutes a reliable source?  I mean, advertising exists for the engine, and as far as parts interchangeability between it and the 239, one could likely compare measurements such as bore and stroke, or part numbers.  There is probably some mention of the engine in the Ford N-Series Tractor page, as that was its primary use. 2600:1005:B19C:33A4:0:1D:CEA7:AC01 (talk) 05:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * "The original 9N engine was a four-cylinder engine and was designed to be powered by distillate fuels. The engine shares the same bore and stroke sizes as one bank of the Ford V8 automobile engines. A few standard Ford auto and truck parts, such as timing gears and valve tappets, were used in this engine.
 * The ford 9N engine was a side-valve, four-cylinder engine, with a 3.19-inch (81 mm) bore, 3.75-inch (95 mm) stroke, providing a displacement of 120 cubic inches (2,000 cm3). The transmission was the standard three-speed."
 * Taken from the Wikipedia page for the Ford N-Series Tractor. I am aware that using Wikipedia as a source would be self referencial, but I'm just pointing out that it's mentioned elsewhere on this site. 2600:1005:B19C:33A4:0:1D:CEA7:AC01 (talk) 05:43, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
