Talk:Ford Boss engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Future rename

I think Jeep still owns the trademark to the Hurricane engine name, so I believe this engine will get renamed before production. Hopefully not Duratec. --Sable232 03:07, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I do belive I read somewhere this wouldn't be Ford's first Hurricane. I could have swore I read ford had a hurricane in the 40's. And I doubt Ford will keep the name Hurricane on it, some have discussed what ford might name it, such as Cobra Jet or Boss. Feedloadr 19:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

AutoWeek is reporting it'll use the Boss name. --SFoskett 18:33, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Measurements

Which set of measurements here are correct, the metric or the standard? I fixed the rounding on the standard measurements, assuming that the metric ones were correct. That was reverted, because the standard measurements are apparently the "actual" measurements? --Sable232 15:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

The standard values are obviously the actual measurements: 4.53 in = 115.062mm (115mm), 4.015 in = 101.981mm (102mm), 3.74 in = 94.996mm (95mm), 3.503 = 88.9762 (89mm). TheBalance 14:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

In that case, if the engine was designed in standard, those mesurements should be first. I'll change it now. --Sable232 16:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
