FORD COLOGNE 2.8l 171ci V6
1972-1986 compatible
Will fit in Capri, Mustang, Bobcat, Ranger, Bronco II, Pinto and others.
Block is from 1973-1978 Capri
Heads from 1983-1986 Ranger
This engine has had EXTENSIVE prep work done to increase performance everywhere.
Alignment honed mains
Bored .060" over
New pistons Silvo-lite
New piston rings(file to fit each bore)
Rods lightened shot peened
ARP rod bolts
New cam,rod,main bearings all around
Block decked to match each side to side
New water pump
New thermostat in bypass
Deburred inside and out
Epoxy on oil drain back areas (the orange color)
High temp engine paint used(ford blue, gloss black, cast iron gray)
Clevite bearing gaurd assembly, ARP assembly, Comp cams break in paste and 50wt Lucas racing oil used during build.
Heads have been ported
Combustion chamber cc matched side to side
Massive +5mm SI swirl polished stainless steel valves were custom fitted(HUGE!!!!)
Hardened exhaust seats
Machined for viton type racing valve stem seals
Racing type multi-angle valve job and bowl hogging to get rid of the exhaust chamber "bumps"
Rotating assembly fully balanced. New Valeo Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate also balanced and available. Balanced to spin to 6500rpm.
New Cloyes timing gears.
Comp camshaft(36-241-4), lifters(835), pushrods(7836) and springs(906). Largest cam lift Comp makes for this engine, .428 lift both intake and exhaust. (Part numbers)
With heads surfaced and block deck compression should be closer to 10-1.
Have offenhauser 4bbl intake, HEI modded Duraspark II harness and Vacumm advance Dura Spark II Distributor, Ranger 5speed(Mazda) trans, T-5 bellhousing(no trans) and other option available.
Many other special little processes done to this engine. Quality gaskets, High Volume oil pump, new high flow oil pump pickup and more.
Not sure if I am going to use this(California emissions so have to play it funny) or unload it for someone to enjoy. If you are interested lets talk. Have more pics just got to find them all.
