@TKevinBlanc Very cool. I used to be really into Saabs. Although I have more experience with the 900 classic. I had a 1988 900 SPG, and it's the one car I really wish I still had.
@@DieselFuelNetwork Two 96 V4s and for a short time a Sonett V4. And lastly two 99s. Funky cars. There was a dealer in, if I remember right, Boonton NJ. That was a loooong time ago lol
Looks like a Ford Cologne v4. Pretty common in 60/70's Transit, Taunus and Capri. There was an Essex V4 as well but it was of a Ford UK design while the Cologne was a Ford Germany design.
@JFinnerud I did think it kind of looked related to the Cologne V6, but when I looked up Cologne V4, it was described as the Taunus V4. I believe you're right that it is the German Cologne engine.
@thundermite1241 I thought so. I used to be really into Saabs, so I was familiar with the existence of the engine. But the only other ones I've seen have been on UA-cam videos with old Fords from Europe. I always thought it was a really cool engine because it's unique and sounds good. I never knew they used as industrial power units.
@@thundermite1241Or a Pinto. But yeah the Courier would be cool. There are also some non Ford cars I could think of that the V4 would be cool for. Chevy Chevette (lightweight) or any of the other imported RWD Japanese hatchbacks from the 70s and 80s that were rebranded as Chevies, Fords, and Dodges.
Had several SAABs in the 70s that had that engine. Torque-y and reliable was my experience.

The sound is like the Soviet ZAZ 968m. V4 air cooled.
@@Lavrenty25Rus Very cool. It's definitely a unique and good sounding engine
My mate had a ford capri with that engine in it , gave him loads of problems from new
@@christopherhutchinson8043 Hahaha, that's unfortunate. Thanks for watching
The taunus v4 is really rare in the use most of the ones i know that imported with it was the saab sonnett and non 2 stroke saab 96

@@DieselFuelNetwork id be cool to try and cram a taunus v4 into a ford courier and see how it performs

Was used in industrial applications,had one in a paver
@jeffmaclean7700 Very cool. I've seen the old Lima 2.3 (pinto engine) in industrial applications, but I never knew the V4 was used
How do you know it wasn’t an issue it runs a dies.
