Ford I8 DOHC 4-valve engines

The first engines of the new I4 DOHC family appeared at the end of the 80s of the last century, to replace Pinto engines on rear-wheel drive models with a longitudinal arrangement of the unit. The design was quite relevant for that time: an in-line cast-iron 4-cylinder block, an aluminum 8v head with two camshafts and hydraulic lifters, as well as a timing chain.

In addition to the injection versions of such a unit, there was also a carburetor modification N8A.

The first generation engines had a working volume of 2.0 liters and were installed on the Sierra and Scorpio. In 1995, it was slightly modified for installation on the Galaxy front-wheel drive minivan:
