The Lima was never in a Tempo, FYI. The 2.3 HSC that was in the Tempo and briefly in the Taurus, was a pushrod engine derived from chopping 2 cylinders off of a 144 cu inline 6.
I stand corrected and pined you response. i had a temp i figure the engine was the same, Then as you look at it a read further.. Its not the same.. Good eye there charles
That was also a good, durable engine as well, I worked in Ford dealerships as a line technician and we always prefered to work on the HSC 2.3 rather than the 1.8 or 1.9 Escort engine. Those were a POS back then
The 2.3L in a 75 Pinto wagon was the first motor I ever blew. Missed third gear... It got rebuilt, and then I drove it on a 3K road trip Odyssey down to Fort Benning and back, then a couple of years after that as my daily driver. The little critter always started when the temperature dropped below freezing despite getting a new 2V carb that never stayed adjusted. The old 300 is another great motor. I had the EFI in an F150. I traded it for a Mustang, but it was a rock-solid motor. My only beef was that it fell flat in the mountains. The info on the Barra was excellent. Great video.
When My grandaddy was a certified ford mechanic he bought his 1999 ford ranger specially equipped with the 245 cfi sohc 4.0l v6 engine in it at the dealership straight from the factory before 2000.
I had a 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. The engine was unbelievable but what was a close second was the neutral handling. In spite of being front wheel drive, it would not dive or break loose in hard g’s and in bad weather. It would just start to slide, front and rear together which gave enormous confidence for control. I miss it dearly. 😢
I can vouch for the 300 inline six, my brother had one in his 76 F250 4x4 when he was in a bush camp cutting firewood, that thing fired right up if you even looked at the key, as it did without a block heater in -40° temps, it was actually tagged as an F260 with the overload springs, we hauled a box full of sand with the front wheels almost off the ground with no problem, and absolutely wicked 4x4ing, granny low 4 spd I wish we still had it. the 4x4 magazines put one up against a full on V8 pulling truck and the six kicked it's ass!
one day i will get one of those trucks I want that engine in a Crewcab truck that would be sweet for me...I am SOLD on this story brother thank you for sharing this...
I agree with your list!! I had a truck with the 300 straight six, it was a great motor to pull/haul with! I really like the ecoboost motors also. My ford flex has the 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost in it. There are a lot of aftermarket tuners and parts out there for it too.
@@bstfordchannel923 would love to find a 1 car race team packing it in and buy up a bunch of stuff. Then turn around and sell most of it to cover my investment.
@@williamm8598 that was a dream to have a serious race team of some sort scca stuff would be cool.. Even that cost some funds.. if you ake a good enough car people would buy.. it just has to win races
Some good info bro my favorite 4cyl.ford is the 2.3 had a 83 ranger with a 2 stage 300 n.o.s setup holley 500cfm 2bbl. Split manifold was 4:10 welded 7.5 diff. Head decked .20 crane custom grind 290h cam arp head bolts gasket match exh.ports and a t5 trans.ran 12:2 best @ 110mph.I like the 4.0 liter V6 too makes good topend power.✌❤&👟
i like the v6 you mentioned.. thats my personal favorite ( on the low )man you got that 2,3 rolling back then dang I may have to touch on that 1 day just need to find a good combo for cheap..
Same to you my b.f.a.m feel like I've known you forever hope to maybe get together @ a crown vic meet 2020' I'm dwn.state De.So 3hrs to Englishtown be awesome to just chill & talk cars.Blessings to you and family may 2020 be best year ever for you.Pray you can get 100k+ followers.✌❤👟
lmao thanks Chuck lol this video took me about 3 days.. i wanted make video about something totally different . So this started to take shape and i rolled with this topic..
Had a ford with just just about every engine you mentioned. One I’ll never forget was a 95 Taurus sho I had, 3.2 automatic, Miss and loved that car very much , rare color blue. Had a 98 SHO V8 didn’t like as much. Bunch of fox body mustang with 2.3 and 3.3, 3.8, 5.0 engine, countless Panther cars with the 4.6. and drive a 05 crown Vic LX sport now.
whoas? you had alot of cars and engines to boot.. i had 2.3 turbo,2.4 carb, inline 6 200,302, v6 duetec 302 .. ( 351w ) still on the ground at the junkyard.. You had some rides Scott lol which 1 stood out in ther pack for you
I LOVE my '05 lx sport! I have been considering buying a "newer/fancy" sedan but I just know i will miss this car. I should drive it until the wheels fall off but that might take forever. Sweet!
If I could have one back it would Probably be the 95 Taurus SHO because that are hard to come by now. Also had a few regular Taurus 02 and a 06 and 07. And a 07 Ford Focus, Also a 86 Ford tempo back in the day, the tempo was my second car I ever had when I was 17 and I’m 43 now. Also had a rare 92 mercury topaz XR5 2dr V6 5 speed. I’ll stop now..lol The amount of vehicles I’ve had is pushing well over 100.
Ya I love my lx sport as well! She got 226k on her and just got the transmission rebuilt. She sitting in the garage for the winter. I got a 2016 Toyota Corolla S I drive daily. I like the crown Vic much more for sure. I bought the Corolla basically for my girlfriend and took it back when I broke up with her dumb ass 6 months ago.
@@chrisoconnor3119 lmao in time we have to keep these cars alive,, cause they give GOOOOOOD scarp weight and that alone will make this cars vanish very quickly
Had non cross flow 1500(1498) Kent in 65 Cortina GT , my first car. My wife had a Pinto wagon 2.3 l, dependable . Have a book on Ford performance from 80's and your evaluation is good. On history. The Escort CVH was also good in GT trim, strong bottom end, early cyl head problems but easily remedied later production after 84' . Friend dont let friends Drive bowties, Blue oval Rules the road.
thanks for that i get all hype looking at engines and swap ( like a football game ) of some sort.. i do enjoy making videos. thank you Justin for this comment . it really helps me I am honored for this comment
I seen that, the weight is the issue nose heavy now the Barra would be best suited... i was trying but $$$ and the customs issue of the motor would have to be dismantled to come into the usa and you spend 5k for that did not sit well
Man I was really hoping your extended hiatus was because you were doing some serious damage to one of your rides. I understand though when times are tight and you can't really do anything. Hope it gets better for you. As far as the motors, the only one I'd support is that inline 300. Really built for torque like you said. Being an ex Jeep guy I am proud of those inline 6 motors. Cant beat them when you're offroading on a budget.
I was making a different video and get got cold its 20 bellow ( colder ) with the wind... I was doing the Maverick stuff.. I have some other plans thats about solid... I have to clean garage out to make room for engine building done cheap.. I have to get more lighting and a heater... thsoe 300 engines are sick for pulling SICK TQ and grut is dang near diesel like
Man Bro, my second girlfriend should've kept that Pinto, 4 on the floor and that BIG rear window hatch back. I remember her passin' cars, while I was tryin' to roll. Even a BIG guy would fit comfortably. Good video my man. From the good days and times.
lmao lo dude yous guys where wild back then lol... i love it though i wanted to get a pinto but I had to pass ( since you mentioned 1 ) i may have to do it.. i seen some that where cool.. Just picked up a FREE trans from a subscriber .. i am soooo thankful dude.. Thank you for sharing that video now all i am thinking about is greenary and Pino
I strongly agree with your statement about the ford Taurus SHO. I will take it a step further and say the ford FOCUS is the best domestic compact car on the market today. I love my 2006 zx4 and am looking into 2.5l swap. Love ford engines, everyone says "go honda" but every motor company has something consumers can be proud of and ford has quite a few beast engine platforms.
thank you for understand this Thomas .. people rag on Ford, but they have a GREAT ENGINE LINE UP right now and other years as whole ( 4cyl 6cyl and v8s plus a that 5 cylinder diesel .. The transmission have been a issue for them. You get the gist of this video and i thank you for this comment
Taurus 6 cylinder = Mazda V6 and Jaguar AJ30 was originally developed by Porsche for the Cayenne. But Porsche sold this engine to Ford as it chose an Audi 3.0 lit V6. Cosworth Engineering redeveloped the heads (AJ30).
That 427 SOHC, pronounced Sock Motor is an FE block and one bad a$$ engine in the day! My Big Block choice is the 429 Lima motor with it's Cleveland 2V style heads, small block 302 BOSS! The 300 straight 6 is a torque beast:)
now thats a good line-up i am still in the learning process on the Ford engines ( in depth ) to be honest its like a rewind then fast forward on vhs tape ..I missing things in between,but I very happy to have you guys to help me along on the knowledge . I like car history vs the other type of history ( this is more factual )... Now my big block choice i will have to really opt out ( for those ) ONLY cause I an not into the 1/4 mile type stuff ( that heavy ), I need a car to turn and hold a corner I like the 427 Cammer 302.4.6 2v (now ) and I like the 289 hipo motor also the v6 mustang that cranks out 302 hp NA . I like dynamics of the engine.. My taste changes to suit a idea
@@bstfordchannel923 Bro, your rockin on the ford knowledge! Especially the Aussie stuff, those guys are crazy fast :) To me Big Blocks are for the highway speed and short blocks are for the track and drag racing... That's how I look at what I'm going to build.
@@danielmcqueen1024 you know thats a good way to look at it i agree with you on that. I am leaning more to the small blocks a bit I am ready to touch one bro.. I had got some info on how to make one 1 a bit more solid so i am ready now bro.. you help me alot Daniel and i thank you for the info
Used a 92 or 91 250 Ford Van with that 300 six multi-port fuel injection...in a word: "Ass Kicking!"...did not realize, it wasn't a V-8, until I looked! My fantasy car: A 71 or 72 Maverick Grabber Manual 4 speed with that multi-port fuel injected 300 SIX!!! Almost bought The Grabber as my Discharge Car in 1972...I should have!!!???
I would just like to say your summisation of the Australian Ford “Barra” engine is spot on, l have had a lot of cars over the decades Holden V8’s & Holden’s when they came with Chevy V8’s when an option & plenty of Aussie Ford Falcons & Fairlanes but l have to say that one of my current cars is one of the last FG Ford Falcons the XR6 version and l love it’s “BARRA” engine and it’s rear wheel drive, l will be hanging on to this one for a long time, l reckon Ford should have used the Turbo Barra in our current Mustangs instead of that little 4 banger at least but would probably have been quicker than the V8 l reckon as good as the V8 is though, most of the Mustangs sold here are V8’s anyway, tens of thousands of them since the demise of Ford Australia’s Falcons, the thing that gets me though is Ford Aus. produces the best ever Aussie Falcon since 1960 with the best power trains then pulls the pin! General Motors pulled the pin here recently too just after Ford but Ford Australia does still exist but not actually making cars anymore they f do global designing apparently if you take the Ford Ranger that global vehicle built in Thailand was prototyped & designed in Australia by Australians so at least we still have our hand in it, cheers.
Another great right up and I thank you for the comments.. Now Ford is strange group anything Fast in the Ford line up ( car ) has to be a Mustang.. They could have put a few Barras in truck at the lease, but having that in a Mustang ( would have dust off the v8s ) in the states. They knew what they doing the Internet gave us glimps of what we had clearly missed out here in the states THE BARRA. Great Right-up james I thank you for this!
thank you for that Jesus i just want to show what i read about and search to see what i can do to engines ( on the cheap ) you can get good info with brands makes and outside brands.. Like to see what they do abroad how they get down with cars .. thank you for commenting and checking out the video
@@bstfordchannel923 thank you so much for taking the initiative and interest in showing and sharing. Theres some kid in a trailer park or apartment complex watching this thinking. I cant swap my engine but i can fine tune it as much as possible keeping them focused on cars and out of other things. Your a real one pop. Im doing a full tune up and cooling fan myself this week. I got a 97 top top of the olympus line ford thunderbird. Picked it up for 1500$🙏 fast can be pricey but fun isnt.
thank you for that I am learning to speak and such.. i learning from you guys also.. check out this video in your spare time th-cam.com/video/m8nZS3_TbwQ/w-d-xo.html
do some research on the 240-300 ford inline. You might be surprised to find out that 327 chevy pistons and valves will slide right in. larger valves, more comprssion these things will wail. really really tough especially if you can locate a forged crank out of a heavy truck.
I seem some of that what you mentioned ( later on ) I was like wow I see many do something, but i think the Amc Jeep inline 6 is better just a tad cause of how long they ran that engine more options,, Great info Gene
The Australian Ford Falcon with the Turbo Barra engines, XR6 etc from 2008 onwards in the FG model used the Tremec TR6060 six speed manual, the same gearbox as used in your Shelby mustang GT500, Corvette ZR1, Dodge Viper SRT-10, the T56 six speed was used on previous 2008 models, other six speeders were used on lesser models down here, but unfortunately you poor buggers can’t get one of our complete FG models for quite a few years with the 25 year rule.
thanks man i was ranting nothing too in depth , but i wanted to share some stuff.. to see what you guys dig.. Ford is the ONLY car company that has 4 v6 and v8s cranking.. while some just have a ls or some just have a hemi.. They have so much engine choices THAT goes unnoticed
Bro you forgot the 3.8 essex its a work horse and can make big power also my buddy has a side mount supercharged 03 3.8 mustang dyno at 625 pounds of torque 605 horsepower i had 250 horse power out of my 04 3.9 n/a
@@bstfordchannel923 Ford's fix for the issue was to loctite the gears to the cams, smart people welded the gears to the cams. Has nothing to do with the lobes.
Ive noticed that the f150 4.2l looks just like the grand national turbo motor, then i looked up oil pumps on both motors, i was like, its the same, so i want to build a 4.2 twin turbo for my truck. Same hp as the stock v8, without the weight. At least I think.
whoa i have the Grand national was a beast on the V6 THATS what GM should have made over f that Corvette they made a new version of the G-body grand national ahhh man. You will good on thet build idea i rather the single turbo , but that twin ill get that motor hopping
There is a company here in Australia called Nizpro who find no difficulty in yielding 1200 HP from the Barra family of inline 6cylinder engines, check out the TH-cam video of engine dyno pull with exhaust manifold so hot that it becomes transparent, through which the flame front is visible.
Have you heard anything about the billet intake manifold? thoughts and or opinions? I have a 08 cvpi and I need a new intake manifold. would prefer to never have to do the job again for a while
keep it stock PLASTIC cause the others will heat soak the engine and its does have that much umph as it is.. Just replace with a stock one UNTIL they make a performance PLASTIC version
@@Chris-sk3wg no problem glad to help,., we can get performance but we have to spend wisely some of these guys ( or corps ) they pray on us with cheap performance stuff ( give us dyno numbers ) but no real life numbers. there is difference
Love your enthusiasm. Is the 2.3 related to the formula ford motor in the seventies, I think they were a 1.8 , they were stock but blue printed and the car was less than 1200 pounds ,l want one LOL
The 2.3 L came out as early as 1974. So that engine was around a long time. And in the 80's there was the SVO mustang. It was a 2.3 with a turbo. It was faster than the GT.
whaoooooo> that is some sad $hit there we needed the motors out of those with a harness.. do not let me find one in my yard.I will buy it.. and the Maverick would be a totally different build
I have a 4.9 ( 300) EFI that is on its third truck. 7 main bearings!! You cant break it if you tried. Heck my Grandson will be putting it into his third truck some day. Ok may be not, young uns dont see the same motor I do when they look at it. Bout ready to get another one. Saw one on Face Book market place for $200 bucks. I have the swapping out the wore out 5.0 to 4.9 thing down pat.
sir you have sweet ride I just bought a f150 $300 frame issues th-cam.com/video/BOP7F2za0ME/w-d-xo.html you have solid truck sir.. I had to get a truck so the f series truck is the best.. I needed that 4.9 like you MR Kelly.. thank you so much for the time for you writing this.
a guy in Kansas showed me how to get a lot of hp out of them and they look stock. some have the two barrel intakes and they perform. they take a chevy crank and rods and make it a stroker. and theyre wicked easy to build cheap and nasty. that engine on the dyno was not a stroker. they run race gas and get the pre smog heads and boom they make crazy power. just a lil bit of work on the head and she will make a pinto scream or about anything u put one into. all this is from a show that makes money tempting you to buy parts you don't need bro. they use the motors in pro mods and simply stock and theyre beating the v6s.
i heard about that swap , but man thats a heavy swap to get right ( if the parts are gone in the yards ).. I do get the dybo vid ( they want people to buy ) But they HIDE the fact you can get just as much power if you do little secret stuff.. I believe what you are saying Ozzy.. i search around for stuff ..You mention a lot of solid things that is on point.. I am not into buying performance I rather make the performance with mix matching stuff..
@@bstfordchannel923 yea those guys caught me rebuilding one for my truck and the guy was here do this. and I was like yea I don't need all that. I just wanted it to run. but the chevy 4 banger crank and rods makes the stroker. everything else is the same. and they make crazy hp without breaking the bank. I mean you can have a header made and intake but me fuel injection and a turbo goes further.
No1 will probably ser this but what would be a good started motor to slap into a 97 probe that's why im here and will I need to replace the trans due to new motor
you did miss the small block fords. they still have a huge following. 289 302 351 have easy swap heads intakes. that's how the 302 boss was made. and that's a motor that is full on stupid. something like 450 hp stock. its insane.
nope did not miss the small blocks... doing alll the v8s together thats a whole different video... doing it right now, Like i was telling Harrison I have to clean garage up and get lights for some cheap engine building i have a few ideas on some videos break down some motors ands swap some parts around..I have been getting parts so there is no waiting between sets.. I want to start to finish IF POSSIBLE
Best Ford engine.....the svt focus 4 cyl. It was a zx2 engine that was reworked by cosworth . I had a zx3 that I swapped a svt focus engine and trans into. No turbos , no nitrous. I weighed the car and it was roughly 300-400 lbs lighter than a svt focus( smaller brakes, no abs, no power windows, locks, less sound deadner , no air bag seats) ...I made the intake tube out of a cone filter and a nacta brake cooling tube, other than that it used 100% Ford factory parts for the engine and trans swap. It would eat stock five speed sho's from a dig, I could drive away from gen one srt8's out top end most cars in it's class. Cobalt ss after 120 mph I just pulled away. On the hwy id get the from roll guys too. Dropping from 6th to 3rd that car would go 50-130 faster than 0-60 😎 third gear topped out at 88 mph. 10-1 compression, high red line great lill engine. Mine dynoed at the front wheels 168 hp and 159 ftlbs.....rated at the crank they were 170 hp and 145 lbft🤷🏼♂️
lmao if v8 on a budget i will say 4.6 2v v8.. coyte v9 are good to but the v6 and the non turbo 4 cylinders are good also.. You have a good choice of engine the issue would be what is your taste of model
@@bstfordchannel923 Well I was considering a Ford pickup truck or suv . The one that gets to best fuel economy is a used Ford Ranger. While I love all the trucks with power and larger engines, I don't really need that right now, the smaller engines get better fuel economy, but not sure if the 2.5 SOHC Pinto engine that ended in 2001 or the 2.3DOHC duratec that replaced it in 2002 is better.
nope no diesel in the next one fuzzy .. I know very little on diesel or have i have respect for them but no deep passion for them YET. trying to get my feet wet in the old school engines and work my way back up to present times
Those ohc 2.3s and the 300-6...they don’t make engines like them no more....still have a couple 2.3s (91 DIS motor and an 87 turbo) in my yard awaiting a vehicle.
I love the engines to H-Dog... Just get a nice body brother just take your time bro.. When you have time check this video th-cam.com/video/7V-ZUg6BkZQ/w-d-xo.html

I think the Ecoboost 3.5L or even the Cyclone 3.7L finally may be a better V6 than the SHO, but they have a little more to go before their cult following matches the SHO. my channel is names after my first vehicle which had the 300. We do need the Barra!
3.5 ecoboost is great but the 300 or 250 inline is better, Note the 302 hp v6 Na duratec thats in the Mustangs and the big Vans ( BIG Ford Transits ) are rev happy I would love to spaw in like a Maverick sized car... Barra is well needed around here
@@bstfordchannel923 I totally want to put a 3.7L V6 Cyclone in like a Mercury Zephyr or Fox Body Cougar and make like a tribute to the Mercury Cyclone from late 60s
great video I subbed, the Barra...…. awesome engine that I have never seen I real life..... there was a show on tv wanting to talk about it and work on in the US, they just couldn't bring it to reason being it cost to much to ship one from Australia, another weird thing it was such an awesome engine Ford Australia quit making it?
thank you for the sub a few marks i missed ,, i am trying to learn ho to do these types of videos.. Now John think on what you just said.. They could have brought the engine here but the issue would have been the V8s here in the states mustangs ect.. i think they wanted to keep us in pocket with v8s only. i love this comment brother.. thank you for this
@@bstfordchannel923 I feel your doing great videos:) See I have 92 SHO pretty neat car but for me its just a commuter with a bit of zip, also 91 LX 5.0..... really zippy summer car owned since new, I have been looking into straight six turbo engines, I also have for work an 08 dodge 3500 with the 6.7 Cummins, with a bit of wrench turning and a stand alone computer I can fart around with many aspects of power and torque, then I acquired an 03 gti 1.8 turbo and for a wee tiny little engine just slightly bigger than a case of beer the little engine packs a punch, kinda like a chihauhua, so ya if I could get my hands on Barra that would excite me a lot, keep in mind my holy grail engine is the Boss 429, Im working on getting a Jon Kaase Boss 9..... oh but the Barra...… hahaa one day maybe.
Yeah the SVT contour never get any love... I have a 2000 SVT contour and they make HP numbers look like child’s play when you slap a turbo or super charger on them. My farther in law owns 7 of them and one of them is the legendary SVT contour that hit 213mph at the Portland international raceway! It needs some love to get it back up to what it use to be but we are making progress pretty quickly due to the amount of people who remember the legendary car! The amount of parts and stuff that have been thrown our way to save it is amazing!
@@atx-cvpi_99 so initially i didnt see this post. But the svt version is a 2.5 v6 reworked motor but there was also the 2.0 v6 and all of the svt versions came in manual with a supercharger or turbo ive seen these thing pull another 300 to 400 hp
My guy,I love your channel, & I'm 200% a Ford man...but comparing a 4.6 sohc to a 427 SOHC is...well, not even a comparison. Also,the better modern sedan from FoMoCo would be a 2004 Mercury Marauder. 4.6 DOHC all aluminum, they weigh less than 4000 lbs. And they were underrated @310 hp. But we're talking 4s & 6s...the SVO turbo 4...great,but the strongest, most reliable, unkillable...has to be the 300 I-6. Build it for work...torque all day...Build it for power & performance, the inline configuration is VERY efficient passing hp & torque to the wheels. Drain the oil out of it & it'll still run longer than most other engines.
hmmm may be doing video now Carl .. i will hip you to something dohc ( is honestly ) looked over people talk about it, but they do not really praise them and do them.. for what i have seen
No mention of the Taunus V4? You will never hear an engine that sounded any better. This engine preceded the Kents and Limas, and gave forth to the Cologne V6 by adding two more cylinders.
Thanks for the comment Mark well I covered some area here th-cam.com/video/J60qd6AHvEc/w-d-xo.html and also here th-cam.com/video/Yfx7KzRUVKM/w-d-xo.html not so much
The 460 is the 7.5 ltr great engine until they put them in A class rv's poor thing couldn't breathe and over heated as well cracked the exhaust manifolds just looking at a hill
meet to i tried and failed, but i learned something... if you go to Canada nyou can get one, but coming to the states the MOTOR has to be broke down intake,head and the long block and trans.. to be sold as PARTS . Them you assemble it when you get all the parts together on the pal let
@@maxie9506 i will say this PLENTYin aussie land like a 4.6 sohc hear in the states.. we need a aussie plug on the engines. I though i had one. but I have to have money READY to purchase

Had a 3.8 in a thunderbird , Didn't do any maintenance Thing was tough as nails Took a lots of abuse and kept on going , only thing else I've seen take tons of abuse and still go was that 300 6cyl, seen a few of them go through the ringer ran hot and everything and still go Had a couple 4.6 they can take some abuse too They are actually pretty good engines not the fastest thing around Not as tough as that 300 6cyl though!!! Think it would have to be Fords toughest engine
wow really... dang I kinda like those i had that motor in a taurus.... sorry for the late reply E -Harris ... I have a video that i would like your input on th-cam.com/video/t-RaEgNeTxY/w-d-xo.html
Don't just lump my 200 in with the 300,there's lots of differences. the amount of love to put on a 4-bbl for instance.BTW you left out Ford v-4.Put in Saabs and the Tannus.
the death of the v8 SHO wasn't the cam lobes it was the cam sprockets they where pressed on and fords recall on it was loctite or the back yard fix was weld them on
hmm? either way it was bad < but the 4.6 have the same pressed on cams and lobes . I guess they figure out how to get the job done through the efforts of that engine failing

I traded it for a Mustang, but it was a rock-solid motor. My only beef was that it fell flat in the mountains. The info on the Barra was excellent. Great video.
When My grandaddy was a certified ford mechanic he bought his 1999 ford ranger specially equipped with the 245 cfi sohc 4.0l v6 engine in it at the dealership straight from the factory before 2000.
I had a 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. The engine was unbelievable but what was a close second was the neutral handling. In spite of being front wheel drive, it would not dive or break loose in hard g’s and in bad weather. It would just start to slide, front and rear together which gave enormous confidence for control. I miss it dearly. 😢
I can vouch for the 300 inline six, my brother had one in his 76 F250 4x4 when he was in a bush camp cutting firewood, that thing fired right up if you even looked at the key, as it did without a block heater in -40° temps, it was actually tagged as an F260 with the overload springs, we hauled a box full of sand with the front wheels almost off the ground with no problem, and absolutely wicked 4x4ing, granny low 4 spd I wish we still had it. the 4x4 magazines put one up against a full on V8 pulling truck and the six kicked it's ass!
one day i will get one of those trucks I want that engine in a Crewcab truck that would be sweet for me...I am SOLD on this story brother thank you for sharing this...
Used my 85 F150 to pull 5000 pounds worth of stock car, tires and tools...no problem, with about 145 HP. Torque matters
I agree with your list!! I had a truck with the 300 straight six, it was a great motor to pull/haul with! I really like the ecoboost motors also. My ford flex has the 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost in it. There are a lot of aftermarket tuners and parts out there for it too.

@@bstfordchannel923 you know all the hot topics!
My first car was a 71 AMC Hornet. That 258 six was a real mover and loved to rev. It was still pullin hard past 5000rpm.
wow that is a sweet ride Kev thats a bad ass car for sure.
What about the Cologne v6's and Essex v6's
I had to replay the Taurus SHO part a dozen times. So freezing 🥶 funny 🤩!
The super rare SHOGUN from Ford. A Ford fiesta with the SHO motor in the back. Also the 2.3L 4 pop is very very popular in the sprint car world.
I seen that on Jay lLenos spot... sweet ride yup the sprint car they used that 2..3 crazy its amazing what they can do with that little motor

The SHO engine is a thing of beauty.
yes it is it , its like that hot chic is crazy
Had a ford with just just about every engine you mentioned. One I’ll never forget was a 95 Taurus sho I had, 3.2 automatic, Miss and loved that car very much , rare color blue. Had a 98 SHO V8 didn’t like as much. Bunch of fox body mustang with 2.3 and 3.3, 3.8, 5.0 engine, countless Panther cars with the 4.6. and drive a 05 crown Vic LX sport now.
whoas? you had alot of cars and engines to boot.. i had 2.3 turbo,2.4 carb, inline 6 200,302, v6 duetec 302 .. ( 351w ) still on the ground at the junkyard.. You had some rides Scott lol which 1 stood out in ther pack for you
I LOVE my '05 lx sport!
I have been considering buying a "newer/fancy" sedan but I just know i will miss this car. I should drive it until the wheels fall off but that might take forever. Sweet!
If I could have one back it would Probably be the 95 Taurus SHO because that are hard to come by now. Also had a few regular Taurus 02 and a 06 and 07. And a 07 Ford Focus, Also a 86 Ford tempo back in the day, the tempo was my second car I ever had when I was 17 and I’m 43 now. Also had a rare 92 mercury topaz XR5 2dr V6 5 speed. I’ll stop now..lol The amount of vehicles I’ve had is pushing well over 100.
Ya I love my lx sport as well! She got 226k on her and just got the transmission rebuilt. She sitting in the garage for the winter. I got a 2016 Toyota Corolla S I drive daily. I like the crown Vic much more for sure. I bought the Corolla basically for my girlfriend and took it back when I broke up with her dumb ass 6 months ago.
@@chrisoconnor3119 lmao in time we have to keep these cars alive,, cause they give GOOOOOOD scarp weight and that alone will make this cars vanish very quickly
Had non cross flow 1500(1498) Kent in 65 Cortina GT , my first car. My wife had a Pinto wagon 2.3 l, dependable . Have a book on Ford performance from 80's and your evaluation is good. On history. The Escort CVH was also good in GT trim, strong bottom end, early cyl head problems but easily remedied later production after 84' .

Look up 300 turbo maverick or the Mad Frenchman. The 300 is a work horse but can also haul ass. Would love a barra in my 74 maverick.
I seen that, the weight is the issue nose heavy now the Barra would be best suited... i was trying but $$$ and the customs issue of the motor would have to be dismantled to come into the usa and you spend 5k for that did not sit well

Man I was really hoping your extended hiatus was because you were doing some serious damage to one of your rides. I understand though when times are tight and you can't really do anything. Hope it gets better for you.
As far as the motors, the only one I'd support is that inline 300. Really built for torque like you said. Being an ex Jeep guy I am proud of those inline 6 motors. Cant beat them when you're offroading on a budget.
I was making a different video and get got cold its 20 bellow ( colder ) with the wind... I was doing the Maverick stuff.. I have some other plans thats about solid... I have to clean garage out to make room for engine building done cheap.. I have to get more lighting and a heater... thsoe 300 engines are sick for pulling SICK TQ and grut is dang near diesel like
Man Bro, my second girlfriend should've kept that Pinto, 4 on the floor and that BIG rear window hatch back. I remember her passin' cars, while I was tryin' to roll. Even a BIG guy would fit comfortably. Good video my man. From the good days and times.
lmao lo dude yous guys where wild back then lol... i love it though i wanted to get a pinto but I had to pass ( since you mentioned 1 ) i may have to do it.. i seen some that where cool.. Just picked up a FREE trans from a subscriber .. i am soooo thankful dude.. Thank you for sharing that video now all i am thinking about is greenary and Pino
Merry Christmas to you and yours Shazam thank you for the comments and the support brother thats such a gift bro
I strongly agree with your statement about the ford Taurus SHO. I will take it a step further and say the ford FOCUS is the best domestic compact car on the market today. I love my 2006 zx4 and am looking into 2.5l swap. Love ford engines, everyone says "go honda" but every motor company has something consumers can be proud of and ford has quite a few beast engine platforms.
thank you for understand this Thomas .. people rag on Ford, but they have a GREAT ENGINE LINE UP right now and other years as whole ( 4cyl 6cyl and v8s plus a that 5 cylinder diesel .. The transmission have been a issue for them. You get the gist of this video and i thank you for this comment
One of the most fun cars was my daughter's 1979 Fairmont with a 200 after I installed the 4spd.
I had 1 to ( 4 banger ) it was cool ride. whats cool you drove your daughters ride
Taurus 6 cylinder = Mazda V6 and Jaguar AJ30 was originally developed by Porsche for the Cayenne. But Porsche sold this engine to Ford as it chose an Audi 3.0 lit V6. Cosworth Engineering redeveloped the heads (AJ30).
That 427 SOHC, pronounced Sock Motor is an FE block and one bad a$$ engine in the day! My Big Block choice is the 429 Lima motor with it's Cleveland 2V style heads, small block 302 BOSS! The 300 straight 6 is a torque beast:)
now thats a good line-up i am still in the learning process on the Ford engines ( in depth ) to be honest its like a rewind then fast forward on vhs tape ..I missing things in between,but I very happy to have you guys to help me along on the knowledge . I like car history vs the other type of history ( this is more factual )...
Now my big block choice i will have to really opt out ( for those ) ONLY cause I an not into the 1/4 mile type stuff ( that heavy ), I need a car to turn and hold a corner I like the 427 Cammer 302.4.6 2v (now ) and I like the 289 hipo motor also the v6 mustang that cranks out 302 hp NA . I like dynamics of the engine.. My taste changes to suit a idea
@@bstfordchannel923 Bro, your rockin on the ford knowledge! Especially the Aussie stuff, those guys are crazy fast :) To me Big Blocks are for the highway speed and short blocks are for the track and drag racing... That's how I look at what I'm going to build.

sorry for the late reply bro. here is the the newest video of the car th-cam.com/video/jOIhJS9HH_U/w-d-xo.html
I would just like to say your summisation of the Australian Ford “Barra” engine is spot on, l have had a lot of cars over the decades Holden V8’s & Holden’s when they came with Chevy V8’s when an option & plenty of Aussie Ford Falcons & Fairlanes but l have to say that one of my current cars is one of the last FG Ford Falcons the XR6 version and l love it’s “BARRA” engine and it’s rear wheel drive, l will be hanging on to this one for a long time, l reckon Ford should have used the Turbo Barra in our current Mustangs instead of that little 4 banger at least but would probably have been quicker than the V8 l reckon as good as the V8 is though, most of the Mustangs sold here are V8’s anyway, tens of thousands of them since the demise of Ford Australia’s Falcons, the thing that gets me though is Ford Aus. produces the best ever Aussie Falcon since 1960 with the best power trains then pulls the pin! General Motors pulled the pin here recently too just after Ford but Ford Australia does still exist but not actually making cars anymore they f do global designing apparently if you take the Ford Ranger that global vehicle built in Thailand was prototyped & designed in Australia by Australians so at least we still have our hand in it, cheers.
Another great right up and I thank you for the comments.. Now Ford is strange group anything Fast in the Ford line up ( car ) has to be a Mustang.. They could have put a few Barras in truck at the lease, but having that in a Mustang ( would have dust off the v8s ) in the states. They knew what they doing the Internet gave us glimps of what we had clearly missed out here in the states THE BARRA. Great Right-up james I thank you for this!
I would add 5.0/302 just for the history/popularity of it and the 351 cleavland and 460 big block for a big block swap for big power
I can not debate with your choice here Ethan lol... spot on
Love your videos and history domestic and over seas

Wow ! How much fun is that ? Lots of Fun ! Thank you for the 😎 video.
do some research on the 240-300 ford inline. You might be surprised to find out that 327 chevy pistons and valves will slide right in. larger valves, more comprssion these things will wail. really really tough especially if you can locate a forged crank out of a heavy truck.
I seem some of that what you mentioned ( later on ) I was like wow I see many do something, but i think the Amc Jeep inline 6 is better just a tad cause of how long they ran that engine more options,, Great info Gene
I had a 76 Mustang II with the Ford Cologne V6 engine. Not a bad power plant.
I kinda hated the Cologne engine i had it in a Bronco II, but i shouldnt totally dis the engine. Thank help me get money
The Australian Ford Falcon with the Turbo Barra engines, XR6 etc from 2008 onwards in the FG model used the Tremec TR6060 six speed manual, the same gearbox as used in your Shelby mustang GT500, Corvette ZR1, Dodge Viper SRT-10, the T56 six speed was used on previous 2008 models, other six speeders were used on lesser models down here, but unfortunately you poor buggers can’t get one of our complete FG models for quite a few years with the 25 year rule.
great right up James well informed and REALLY thank you for this it was a great read!
Tons of great info👏👏👏👏👍
thanks man i was ranting nothing too in depth , but i wanted to share some stuff.. to see what you guys dig.. Ford is the ONLY car company that has 4 v6 and v8s cranking.. while some just have a ls or some just have a hemi.. They have so much engine choices THAT goes unnoticed

The Yamaha SHO 3.4l V8's problem were the cam gears were only swaged onto the cams and would break loose.
i was hear it was the press on cam which they perfected on the modular engines .. Some welded the came lobes
@@bstfordchannel923 Ford's fix for the issue was to loctite the gears to the cams, smart people welded the gears to the cams. Has nothing to do with the lobes.
Ive noticed that the f150 4.2l looks just like the grand national turbo motor, then i looked up oil pumps on both motors, i was like, its the same, so i want to build a 4.2 twin turbo for my truck. Same hp as the stock v8, without the weight. At least I think.
whoa i have the Grand national was a beast on the V6 THATS what GM should have made over f that Corvette they made a new version of the G-body grand national ahhh man. You will good on thet build idea i rather the single turbo , but that twin ill get that motor hopping

There is a company here in Australia called Nizpro who find no difficulty in yielding 1200 HP from the Barra family of inline 6cylinder engines, check out the TH-cam video of engine dyno pull with exhaust manifold so hot that it becomes transparent, through which the flame front is visible.
I seen it Jason.. i am so pissed we do have it here... I want a Barra ... question I do not see many 5-6 speed trans on barras.. what do they use?
Turbo Barra from FG model Ford Falcons 2008 on use Tremec TR6060 six speed, T56 prior model Ford Falcons.
Have you heard anything about the billet intake manifold? thoughts and or opinions? I have a 08 cvpi and I need a new intake manifold. would prefer to never have to do the job again for a while
keep it stock PLASTIC cause the others will heat soak the engine and its does have that much umph as it is.. Just replace with a stock one UNTIL they make a performance PLASTIC version

@@Chris-sk3wg NOPE only cause there is not many people demanding this.. people just swap out the engine...its all about demand
Love your enthusiasm. Is the 2.3 related to the formula ford motor in the seventies, I think they were a 1.8 , they were stock but blue printed and the car was less than 1200 pounds ,l want one LOL
I think that was the Kent motor in motor cam vs the ohc in the 2.4
2.0, 2.3, and 2.5 Duratec 4 cylinder was good too.
The 2.3 L came out as early as 1974. So that engine was around a long time. And in the 80's there was the SVO mustang. It was a 2.3 with a turbo. It was faster than the GT.
The 300 is a good workhorse for sure

This video is making me wanna engine swap my 2004 ford tarus for a sho engine
a guy in Kansas showed me how to get a lot of hp out of them and they look stock. some have the two barrel intakes and they perform. they take a chevy crank and rods and make it a stroker. and theyre wicked easy to build cheap and nasty. that engine on the dyno was not a stroker. they run race gas and get the pre smog heads and boom they make crazy power. just a lil bit of work on the head and she will make a pinto scream or about anything u put one into. all this is from a show that makes money tempting you to buy parts you don't need bro. they use the motors in pro mods and simply stock and theyre beating the v6s.
i heard about that swap , but man thats a heavy swap to get right ( if the parts are gone in the yards ).. I do get the dybo vid ( they want people to buy ) But they HIDE the fact you can get just as much power if you do little secret stuff.. I believe what you are saying Ozzy.. i search around for stuff ..You mention a lot of solid things that is on point.. I am not into buying performance I rather make the performance with mix matching stuff..
@@bstfordchannel923 yea those guys caught me rebuilding one for my truck and the guy was here do this. and I was like yea I don't need all that. I just wanted it to run. but the chevy 4 banger crank and rods makes the stroker. everything else is the same. and they make crazy hp without breaking the bank.

you did miss the small block fords. they still have a huge following. 289 302 351 have easy swap heads intakes. that's how the 302 boss was made. and that's a motor that is full on stupid. something like 450 hp stock. its insane.

Best Ford engine.....the svt focus 4 cyl. It was a zx2 engine that was reworked by cosworth . I had a zx3 that I swapped a svt focus engine and trans into. No turbos , no nitrous. I weighed the car and it was roughly 300-400 lbs lighter than a svt focus( smaller brakes, no abs, no power windows, locks, less sound deadner , no air bag seats) ...I made the intake tube out of a cone filter and a nacta brake cooling tube, other than that it used 100% Ford factory parts for the engine and trans swap. It would eat stock five speed sho's from a dig, I could drive away from gen one srt8's out top end most cars in it's class. Cobalt ss after 120 mph I just pulled away. On the hwy id get the from roll guys too. Dropping from 6th to 3rd that car would go 50-130 faster than 0-60 😎 third gear topped out at 88 mph. 10-1 compression, high red line great lill engine. Mine dynoed at the front wheels 168 hp and 159 ftlbs.....rated at the crank they were 170 hp and 145 lbft🤷🏼♂️

@@bstfordchannel923 Well I was considering a Ford pickup truck or suv . The one that gets to best fuel economy is a used Ford Ranger. While I love all the trucks with power and larger engines, I don't really need that right now, the smaller engines get better fuel economy, but not sure if the 2.5 SOHC Pinto engine that ended in 2001 or the 2.3DOHC duratec that replaced it in 2002 is better.

great video I subbed, the Barra...…. awesome engine that I have never seen I real life..... there was a show on tv wanting to talk about it and work on in the US, they just couldn't bring it to reason being it cost to much to ship one from Australia, another weird thing it was such an awesome engine Ford Australia quit making it?
thank you for the sub a few marks i missed ,, i am trying to learn ho to do these types of videos.. Now John think on what you just said.. They could have brought the engine here but the issue would have been the V8s here in the states mustangs ect.. i think they wanted to keep us in pocket with v8s only. i love this comment brother.. thank you for this
@@bstfordchannel923 I feel your doing great videos:) See I have 92 SHO pretty neat car but for me its just a commuter with a bit of zip, also 91 LX 5.0..... really zippy summer car owned since new, I have been looking into straight six turbo engines, I also have for work an 08 dodge 3500 with the 6.7 Cummins, with a bit of wrench turning and a stand alone computer I can fart around with many aspects of power and torque, then I acquired an 03 gti 1.8 turbo and for a wee tiny little engine just slightly bigger than a case of beer the little engine packs a punch, kinda like a chihauhua, so ya if I could get my hands on Barra that would excite me a lot, keep in mind my holy grail engine is the Boss 429, Im working on getting a Jon Kaase Boss 9..... oh but the Barra...… hahaa one day maybe.
Ford Australia stopped making cars...no cars, no Barra. RIP Australian manufacturing
@@gavinmadson6787 I heard something that GM left the scene as well?
Anybody know how to get their hands on a cam synchronizer for a 93 Ford Taurus SHO 3.2
I will check around for ya
The 2.0 pinto with the 16v head or better known as (cosworth yb).
Very true and thank you for this.. i will have to do a Ford 4 banger video some day
The ozzy 250 2v you missed. Non xflow 250 with awesome head
I notice nobody ever talks about the 2.5 by out of the ford contour svt.
that car is the $hit i want to kinda talk about it but somebody did Mr random and others
The 2.5 four cylinder is good but not the V6.
Yeah the SVT contour never get any love... I have a 2000 SVT contour and they make HP numbers look like child’s play when you slap a turbo or super charger on them. My farther in law owns 7 of them and one of them is the legendary SVT contour that hit 213mph at the Portland international raceway! It needs some love to get it back up to what it use to be but we are making progress pretty quickly due to the amount of people who remember the legendary car! The amount of parts and stuff that have been thrown our way to save it is amazing!
@@atx-cvpi_99 so initially i didnt see this post. But the svt version is a 2.5 v6 reworked motor but there was also the 2.0 v6 and all of the svt versions came in manual with a supercharger or turbo ive seen these thing pull another 300 to 400 hp
I think of the Probe GT 2.5
The best ford 6cylinder is the Ford Barra engine a real beast , and can make a ton of hp, would even say it's better then a 2jz
I see that one for sure bro!
I heard that the V6 in the Probe GT was a ripper.
I like Fords I asked for a 4 liter They sent me a mechanic wanting more horsepower
My guy,I love your channel, & I'm 200% a Ford man...but comparing a 4.6 sohc to a 427 SOHC is...well, not even a comparison.
Also,the better modern sedan from FoMoCo would be a 2004 Mercury Marauder. 4.6 DOHC all aluminum, they weigh less than 4000 lbs. And they were underrated @310 hp. But we're talking 4s & 6s...the SVO turbo 4...great,but the strongest, most reliable, unkillable...has to be the 300 I-6. Build it for work...torque all day...Build it for power & performance, the inline configuration is VERY efficient passing hp & torque to the wheels. Drain the oil out of it & it'll still run longer than most other engines.
4.6 and 427 ( size wise ) and the way it was built ( not the performance) being a sohc Beau.
The inline 4 zetec dohc 2.0! That's the joint!
The Duratec 2.5 four cylinder was also a good engine.
Part 2 will have the 4.6 dohc motor as well as the gen 3 coyote.
hmmm may be doing video now Carl .. i will hip you to something dohc ( is honestly ) looked over people talk about it, but they do not really praise them and do them.. for what i have seen
is funny I had own a pinto 2.3 then f100 with l 6 4.9 and now f150 3.5 ecoboost
How about the V6 Vulcan? I like it because it's in my old Ranger..No problems ever.
thats a good engine i will say that land
No mention of the Taunus V4? You will never hear an engine that sounded any better. This engine preceded the Kents and Limas, and gave forth to the Cologne V6 by adding two more cylinders.
What about the 3.0 Duratec V6 with Porsche roots
greta motors i will do a whole video on that alone
@@bstfordchannel923 Sounds good man! Looking forward to it, I have a 2000 Cougar with the 3.0L Duratec V6. She goes really well!
300 motor with 259,000 runing on 5 cylinders with almost no oil pressure in my F 250....wouldn't die.
The best motor they had over all, just did not have the hp, but its a great motor James.
Two thumbs up
What about the 2.5L SVT in the contours?
man those where SWEET i like them a lot sucks that there where just cost to much at the time to get a lot of them ( in the wild ) for use to get now..
The 2.5 V6 engines were junk.
So um... do you like Ford?
it shows that bad? lol
@@bstfordchannel923 juuuuuust a lil...
@@ImChrisDuke lmao
@@ImChrisDuke i love nissan to i can NOT front
You missed twoFord best V eights. 7.3 L 460. Also the 4.6 the boyfriend cam 32 valve Intech.
Thanks for the comment Mark well I covered some area here th-cam.com/video/J60qd6AHvEc/w-d-xo.html and also here th-cam.com/video/Yfx7KzRUVKM/w-d-xo.html not so much
The 460 is the 7.5 ltr great engine until they put them in A class rv's poor thing couldn't breathe and over heated as well cracked the exhaust manifolds just looking at a hill
I had a V8 SHO, regret selling it to this day.
I was looking up inline 6s and was mad as hell that we cant at least import barras in the states....and it's a ford smh
meet to i tried and failed, but i learned something... if you go to Canada nyou can get one, but coming to the states the MOTOR has to be broke down intake,head and the long block and trans.. to be sold as PARTS . Them you assemble it when you get all the parts together on the pal let
@@bstfordchannel923 well shit. How much they running up there and how plentiful are they
@@maxie9506 i will say this PLENTYin aussie land like a 4.6 sohc hear in the states.. we need a aussie plug on the engines. I though i had one. but I have to have money READY to purchase
@@bstfordchannel923 yeah I think that's definitely what we would need. I'm pretty sure if we had a supplier there it would definitely increase the demand for it in the states.
@@maxie9506 some HOW I hope a guy is watching this and I can set-up something...its all about the capital to be honest and exposure to.. its tough its very very possible
My 89 Mustang 2.3 was a good engine but it sucked when it came to making hp.
that why you needed the turbo i had 1 in my capri foxbody sucked but it ran hard
3.8 L Supercharged V6?
that would be a great choice!
Had a 3.8 in a thunderbird
, Didn't do any maintenance
Thing was tough as nails
Took a lots of abuse and kept on
going
, only thing else I've seen
take tons of abuse and still go was that 300 6cyl, seen a few of them go through the ringer ran hot and everything and still go
Had a couple 4.6
they can take some abuse too
They are actually pretty good engines not the fastest thing around
Not as tough as that
300 6cyl though!!! Think it would have to be Fords toughest engine
wow really... dang I kinda like those i had that motor in a taurus.... sorry for the late reply E -Harris ... I have a video that i would like your input on th-cam.com/video/t-RaEgNeTxY/w-d-xo.html
The Ford 3.0 Vulcan and the 4.0 ohv Cologne engines were both durable as hell and they both gave decent mpg at the time too.
I should have gave some light to that a bit more the Vulcan thank you for this comment i have to get that video up
Windsor with Cleveland heads ?
Don't just lump my 200 in with the 300,there's lots of differences. the amount of love to put on a 4-bbl for instance.BTW you left out Ford v-4.Put in Saabs and the Tannus.
it is you are corect, but i would have made the video so much longer dude i shorten video so much..
Australian Barra 182 straight six is the best by a million miles
I can say that 100% if it was so great give me the reason why the discontinued a great motor..
The 427 S.O.H.C is a God!
very much so Rick I am with you
the death of the v8 SHO wasn't the cam lobes it was the cam sprockets they where pressed on and fords recall on it was loctite or the back yard fix was weld them on
hmm? either way it was bad < but the 4.6 have the same pressed on cams and lobes . I guess they figure out how to get the job done through the efforts of that engine failing
Great info Tyler
They don't want 125 Miles per hour they want to save on gas and a hatchback so they can go shopping
Australians can't shift left handed as good as we can right handed.
lmao lol very true bro very true
300 inline 6 best mother hands down ford ever built lol frfr
that motor is crazy.. they should have improved it.. well they did they call it a Barra
Darn, I'm not first
What about the 2.5 duratec
I have to really check up on that
@bstfordchannel923 the 2.5 came in alot of different vehicles they even had a SVT 2.5 that was really good
@@jamesstriplin2732 yes it was good engine jsut wanted to know the pros and cons with it... I realy like to own one... I had a few escorts i think they had them in those
