Notice:
This engine was introduced in 1964 in the 20M (P5) and was designed as an "open deck" engine with free-standing cylinder liners and an open water jacket.
In this version, spark plugs with a thread length of 12.7mm are installed.
A technical change took place in May 1967 and from the 20M (P7) onwards, the "closed deck" engine with a closed water jacket was installed and equipped with cylinder heads with a spark plug thread of 19.0 mm.
In October 1969 Ford redesigned the cooling system and replaced the external water pump by a central pump with the shape of a "sea-horse".
This engine was used in many models until 1996 and was also provided with various injection systems. As 2,9i in the Scorpio "RS Cosworth" it developed up to 207 hp.
