New Ford Product InvestmentsNot following what you mean. On average newest engines are going to longer stroke-to-bore ratios. Ratio of 1.2 now common with some as high as +/- 1.3. New Mustang 2.3L EB increased to just over 1.21. That's quite a departure from current/older Ford V6 and V8 in North America.
Also not following lighter reciprocating parts in context of lowering total engine weight; other than obvious minor weight/mass savings from parts themselves. The article implied an inline-6 can be lighter than similar V6 due to overall simpler design and fewer parts. Historically I'm not sure there is a big difference in weight between I-6 and V-6. Mostly I think I-6 would be cheaper to build and smoother in operation. Added length is only major drawback. I don't expect Ford to come out with new I-6 this late in the ICE game, but it would be a welcomed surprise.Mon, 06 Nov 2023 14:15:20 +0000
