Any of the engines from 05/06 are basically a F6 engine, which should be capable of supporting 350-400rwkw dependant on the tune.

I'm of the opinion that over-revving the engine has a large part to do with it. The same can be said about oil pump gear failures.←Probalbly less common but severe engine braking could also cause it, that's why its best to blip the throttle on the gear down changes when giving it a hard time!

Posted 01/11/06 04:32 AM Share Posted 01/11/06 04:32 AM Just rang ford spare parts the ba xr6t bottom end is different to the bf xr6t bottom end which is different to the bf f6 bottom end so I really think that you are tacking a risk buying a ford bottom end.Better to rebiuld your own motor with rods and pistons.Ian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66619-atomic-motors-merged-topic/page/15/#findComment-457686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
