transam Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Try this one, Ford (UK) in their Granada range originally used the 2.5 or 3.0 V6 Essex engine to be replaced with the 2.8 Cologne lump. There were two major changes in internal design. What were they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hmmmmmm, OK, how about the BMC (British Leyland) A series engines, as fitted to many small cars including the Mini. Regarding the Mini, other than performance differences, bearings, crankshaft etc, there was one thing the Cooper S engine had that the basic Cooper or Mini didn't have. What was it. Do you give up on this one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ford Taurus SHO 3.4L DOHC V8 developed with Yamaha and apparently not one of their best from the 90's. Cat 3408 18L V8 as used in some 80's trucks, 988B loaders, 631 scrapers, D8 dozers etc. They both have weird looking cranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
