Ford HSC Engine - 2.5

2.5

A 2.5 L (2496 cc, 152 CID) version appeared in 1986 with longer 3.58 in (90.9 mm) stroke and electronic fuel injection. The extra displacement was needed to provide a four-cylinder engine option for fleet customers of the new Ford Taurus. This engine used the head and cam from the HSO engine and produced 90 hp (67 kW) and 130 lb·ft (180 N·m) of torque. It sold in low volume (less than 15% of the HSC engines built) and was costly due to the tooling changeover required for the taller engine block deck height. It received sequential fuel injection in 1991, raising output to 105 hp (78 kW) and 140 lb·ft (190 N·m) of torque.

Applications:

• 1986–1991 Ford Taurus
