The Ford CHT is a family of inline four cylinder engines that Ford built in Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s. It grew out of the Cleon-Fonte engine, whose manufacturing rights Ford do Brasil acquired when it took over the Brazilian operation of Willys, and which first appeared in the Corcel at 1.3 litres. In 1981 the company began Projeto Zeta to adapt the front drive Mk3 Escort, and the car debuted in August 1983 with a Brazilian developed engine instead of the CVH. Luc de Ferran led the design effort, giving the old wet linered cast iron block a new cylinder head built to swirl the intake charge. CHT stands for Compound High Turbulence, and it is unrelated to the similarly named CVH engine. Displacements were 1.3 litres and 1.6 litres, with ethanol running made easier.
