HEY,Mod Motor guys,

Strtracer · 03-03-2005, 11:29 PM

I got a question or 3. Correct me if Im wrong, Im just trying to get some info.

V8 Mod motor production started in 1992?

Which was the first car/truck to use it?

Besides the 4.6 and 5.4, what other motors are built off the Mod platform. V-6s?, V-10's?

So, has this motor actually been the great Modular design it was touted(sp) to be during its design and introduction, is Ford actually using it in numerous configurations/platforms, or just 2 or 3?

If I am not mistaken the first MOD motors where in 1992 and they were used in the F-150. Ford also has a V-10 MOD motor (I'm almost positive that it is a 7.3l) which is obviously used in it's Heavy Duty F-Series trucks. Ford is using it in almost every car/truck they have. The F-Series trucks, Navigators, Expeditions, Explorers, Aviators, Mustangs and Cobras all have mod motors now. I'd actually have to look into whether or not Ford uses these engine any V6 aplications. Let me get back to you on those, and please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the other statements I've made. I'm nearly certain on everything I said though...

Mod motors didn't come out in f-150's till 1997. They put the pushrod motors in truck till 1997 (f250/350). Ford had some strange truck combos out there due to the model changes for the f150 and f250. The 99 mod motors seem to be good, but the earlier ones are not as strong. I've read in the mags that a lot of companies have not come out with as many (or some nothing) for the mod motors due to Ford changing them (1999). Noe that they have come out with another version (3-valve) that may hurt the older mod motors.(But there's always blowers and nitrous

) I do know the torque was down on the first mod truck motors (this was stated in MM&FF). Hope this helps. I personally feel they're just too difficult to work on and parts are still too $$$ for some of the gains. How do you guys with them feel?

I stand corrected. ***Tips hat to 357 and Chris***
