Ford Barra engine

Barra is the name of a series of internal combustion engines made by Ford Australia between 2002 and 2016. The family combines locally developed inline-six engines with Canadian-built V8 engines. The Barra inline-six was designed by Ford Australia and built at Geelong, Victoria, and it descends from the original Falcon Six of 1960 by way of the single-overhead-cam Intech engine of 1998 to 2002. It displaces 4.0 litres, has twin overhead camshafts and variable valve timing, and was offered on petrol, in turbocharged form and on liquefied petroleum gas. It debuted in the 2002 BA Falcon and was also used in the Territory, Fairmont and Fairlane. The Barra V8s are versions of the Ford Modular engine built in Windsor, Ontario, and were dropped in 2008.
