![]() ![]() ![]() In Europe, this engine was commonly fitted with the Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system, married to Ford’s EEC-IV engine management. Output was rated at 140 hp rpm for the Light trucks (1986-92 Ranger & 1986-90 Bronco II) and 144 hp rpm for the Merkur Scorpio in the US market and anywhere from 150 to 160 hp for the European Market.īore was 93 mm (3.7 in) and stroke was 72 mm (2.8 in) for a total displacement of 2.9 L (2935 cc/177 in³). The cylinder heads also sport a more conventional three-port exhaust manifold. The arrangement of the exhaust valves is different, eliminating the “Hot-Spot” that existed on the 2.8 L model. The camshaft is chain-driven rather than gear driven, so it rotates in the same direction as the crankshaft. ![]() The 2.9 L shares the same basic design as the 2.8 L model, bar a few subtle differences. These engines were also used in the United States, especially in compact trucks. Later, the Cologne V6 largely replaced the Essex V6 even for British-market vehicles. Originally, the Cologne V6 was installed in cars intended for Germany and continental Europe, while the British “Essex” V6 was used in cars for the British market. All except the Cosworth 24v derivative and later 4.0 litre SOHC engines were pushrod overhead valve engines, with a single camshaft between the banks. Over the years, the Cologne V6 was available with engine displacements of 1.8, 2.0, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9 and 4.0 litres. The Ford Cologne 2.9L V6 is a 60° cast iron block V6 engine built by the Ford Motor Company in Cologne, Germany, hence the name.
