When did Ford start making the Triton overhead camshaft engine?
When did Ford start making the Triton overhead camshaft engine?
For example, Ford began producing the Triton overhead camshaft (OHC) engine in 1997 in V8 and V10 configurations, which was installed exclusively in its trucks and SUVs (not cars). Over the years, there have been numerous variants, changes and improvements in the 4.6L V8.
How big is the Ford Windsor V-8 engine?
The 6.8-liter Windsor is likely related to the 7.3-liter “Godzilla” V-8, since that’s the big-block Ford is currently producing. This agreement also includes battery production for yet-to-be-determined electric vehicles, which is, like, theoretically great.
When did the Ford 4.6L SOHC engine come out?
In 2005, Ford introduced a three-valve (3V) SOHC version of the 4.6L for the newly restyled retro-look Mustang. Major changes included the use of two intake valves and one exhaust valve per cylinder to increase air velocity, torque and power, variable cam timing and a weight-saving aluminum cylinder block.
Where was the Ford 4.6 Modular V8 made?
It was developed and primarily produced at the Ford Romeo Engine Plant in Romeo, Michigan (which is why you’ll sometimes hear them called “Romeo Engines”) — though production was eventually expanded to the Windsor, Ontario plant, too. Somewhat ironic, considering it replaced the old “Windsor V8” in the Mustang GT.

Where was the Ford 4.6L SOHC engine built?
There have been two distinctly different cast iron blocks used for the 4.6L, depending on whether the engine was built at the Romeo plant or the Windsor plant. There are two Windsor blocks with two casting numbers and one minor difference, and there are four different versions of the Romeo block with several different casting numbers.
What kind of engine does the new Ford Windsor have?
Expect the 6.8-liter Windsor to be overhead-valve (OHV) like the small-block Ford or GM’s LS-series and FCA’s Hemi V-8 engines. We could spend hours debating the pros and cons of OHV versus OHC, but the point is moot considering the power available from the competition’s big-bore, two-valve pushrod powerplants.
How big is the Ford V-8 engine in Canada?
Consider what we know so far: Ford reached a three-year contract with Unifor (the Canadian trade union) to make “6.8-liter engines” in its famous Windsor engine plant. They didn’t specify the cylinder count, but come on—it’s gonna be a V-8 if it’s that big.
