5 Most Significant Ford Engines

Very surprising that the 240/300 inline six motors didn’t make this list. They would have been number one for me. Ford put them in everything. Trucks, tractors, ups trucks, generators, steam rollers, etc. The engine that built modern America as some say.

Didn't see one of the best engines Ford ever made, 289.

The Ford 300 Inline six was a great motor.

Cant argue with the Flathead 8 , still sought after today. My favorite Ford and best Ford engine I ever owned was the 300 six, very reliable and strong.

The 300 six should've been on this list.

This video reminds me of my first car, which I bought from the original owner. It was a 1958 T-Bird. In 1964, the owner had the original 352 cube engine replaced with a 427. That car could pass anything on the road - except gas stations. But, it was a joy for me as a teen. 😄😄😄

My preference was always the 390 V-8 the 2 barrel for decent gas mileage and the 4 barrel for good power. A very reliable engine too.

351w, 300 i6, coyote, 6.7 powerstroke , 460, 390fe, like for support

In 1965 Ford introduced the 300 inline six. This was also known as the 4.9 litre. Could be the reason why Ford rounded up the V8 to a 5.0 litre

Own an 89 Lincoln LSC 5.0L V8. The engine still runs today flawlessly like it's new. I'm amazed everytime I fire it up.

In my opinion, you could not beat the old 390 cubic inch! It was a power house and dependable!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Great information. On a personal note, I once used 289 heads with pressed in studs and rail rockers on a 302 in my Falcon. Ended up dropping a valve and crunching a piston.

I'm actually very surprised 300 i6 was not mentioned

I'm also a 300ci cylinder fan, it wasn't a big horsepower motor but it had the torque to pull a house. Also the 68 model that I had got 20 mpg average on a stock motor .

The 352 and 390 were the most significantly produced FE block engines. BTW for those who still may not know, FE actually stands for: Ford/Edsel.

The 5.0 from 1987 to 1993 was absolutely amazing!

Ford Motor Company has produced many great engines.

MIA: 429/460, 4.6 Modular, 2.6/2.8/2.9/4.0 Cologne V6, 351/351M/400 Cleveland. It's hard to overlook the 240/300 bulletproof straight sixes, which still are the best truck engines going. Also, should have included all the Windsor V8s under the 302 - have you driven a 289HO lately? .

One of your best videos yet, thank you from all of us in the Blue Oval camp 👍🇺🇸

My Dad bought a brand new 1957 Ford station wagon, green and white. He had it about 2 weeks and 2 ford factory representatives came to our house and told my Dad they wanted to buy the motor out of his wagon. He told them he didn't want to sell it and told them to take a hike. They offered him a new car of his choice but the answer was still nope. They told him the motor was not supposed to be in the car. It was a new design they were working on and it somehow mistakenly got put in the wagon. My Dad knew it was some kind of racing motor because it had 2 four barrel carbs and an aluminum intake. They told him it was the new 427 they were developing and were coming out with it in a few years. They tried everything to get that motor but it was still in the wagon when my Dad traded it in on a new car in 68. I wish I had known what I know now and would have talked him into letting me have it.
