I remember a bloke who had a Saab 96. It had a distinct sound and didn't know it had Ford V4 in it. Almost sounds like a Flat 4.

Thanks for the video. Brings back memories I live in South Africa. I was a proud owner of a 1966 two litre v4 Corsair GT. I really enjoyed that car.

Just to make things clear , this is the British Essex V4 , it's either a 1.7 or a 2.0 L the engine of the Corsair V4 and 2000GT mk1 capris , and Mk1 Transits, the Taunus V4 was a German made engine that was either 1.2, 1.3 , 1.5 or 1.7 L

I know this is an Essex but I remember walking around the Fresno pick n pull auto yard and stumbling upon a saab sonett 2 with a taunus v4 and thought what a shame it was to see that car sitting there in decent condition but seeing its final days. The body was straight, fair paint, and complete.

@tweelet hi this is the british V4,,, the saab have the german V4...from the ford taunus p4-p6 front wheel drive... the reason saab (later model95-96) had this engine in it was becource they dident have a reliable 4 stroke of their own at that time..and they tested some diffefent engines and found the ford.. was very strong and would fit in the saab easy...

That's at the outer edge of sustainability for these. You can get up to about 150hp, all motor, and it be pretty reliable and streetable. Going much higher than that and you're looking at a race-only motor. The Taunus' internals just won't take it, and there isn't much in the way of buildup bits to make it tougher. Even if you upgrade the rods, crank and pistons (tricky to source), I don't think the block can go that high and stay reliable in the long run.

@tweelet v4 engines are hard to balance- a 4 cylinder must fire every180 degrees, so if u arrange the crank to facilitate this its out of balance; these run a balance shaft. The crank snaps on these!

The scion FR-S is a 4 cylinder, just only a boxer instead of a "V4". Modern tech can add DI, VVT, Ford can make the block stronger if it ever was produced, at least u should be able to get 175 hp.

If you're going to go to the expense and complexity of having two heads, may as well install a V6. Most of its advantage is in the compactness of the engine's dimensions, and modern, compact turbo straight 4s give plenty of power while being about the same size. It's a neat layout and I like them - learned to drive in a SAAB 96 - but in light of modern engine technology I'd say it's obsolete.
